Anglophone diasporic crime fiction - written by authors of Indian descent who are basedin the Global North - offers a double lens: firstly, it allows us to investigate how theuneven terrain of the nation-state, race, class, gender and caste in this contemporaryglobal form is negotiated transnationally; and secondly, it pushes for a reassessment ofthe relationship of diasporic fiction with the shifting terrain of postcolonial Indian cultureand society. I examine how this fiction challenges the paradigmatic frame of the nationand nationhood, and responds to questions of diasporic belonging and representation.

由印度裔作家创作的流散在全球北方的英语犯罪小说提供了一个双重透镜：首先，它使我们能够研究民族国家、种族、阶级、性别和种姓在当代全球形式中的不平坦地形是如何跨国协商的;其次，它推动了对流散小说与后殖民印度文化和社会变迁的关系的重新评估。我研究了这部小说如何挑战国家和民族的范式框架，并回答了散居的归属和代表性的问题。
