...and here's another one!

Reading Spivak and and Devi reminded me of Jhumpa Lahiri. Obviously, Lahiri's texts highlight south asian culture (traditional gender roles) and Lahiri is not as radical or as feminist as Devi and Spivak. Nonetheless, I still think Lahiri's texts (Namesake, Unaccustomed Earth, and Interpreter of Maladies) can contribute to our discussion of gender roles. I think Lahiri's texts (especially Namesake) highlights a way in which Western/American gender roles coincide with gender roles of another country.

  I love Jhumpa's writing, so I would love to read anything by her!
