Bharati Mukherjee critically engages the banal state of American literature. Mukherjee proves relentless in her analysis of the negative impact of colonialism and gender inequality in the broader arena of art and history. All the while, she maintains a positive outlook for the future of American culture by way of the voice of the very Subaltern that the canon seemingly rejects. This voice, with its unique qualities of embodying the multitudinous virtues of the United States, has the capacity to subvert the temperance and quality of the language, and in doing so enliven the creative spirit that lay at the heart of expression.
This event, "War and Peace", took place on March 6th, 1988.
