Title of the paper : The Existence of Invisible Women: The Rise of Indian Women Writers in Caribbean Literature

Abstract: The diasporic migration affects women more particularly and differently than men. As the onus of establishing in a traditional mind-set falls on woman they quickly adapt to the new environment and establishes cross-border identities. While coming to literature of the women in the diaspora, most of the literary production by women subverts the dominant male discourse on migrations and contribute to the development of female narratives, giving them space to reshape and relocate their identities, and corroborating their role as cultural representatives. When these discourses are apparently viewed through a female perspective, the complexity of identity characterized by movement, displacement, relocation Ashcroft 319 becomes major issues of concern. This paper tries to focus on the displacement from the roots and their struggle to negotiate in a new territory and answer the question of how the spatial and emotional complexities have become the central concern of these women writers.
