Globalization in 'The Inheritance of Loss'

Dr. Reena Mary Abraham

Abstract :

Kiran Desai, the Man Booker Prize winner of 2006 is an acclaimed writer in Indian English Literature. In her prestigious novel, ‘The Inheritance of Loss’, she delineates several aspects of globalization through her characterisation. The West’s attempt to globalize its ideals, flow of resources, struggle for existence of people from Third World countries, the failure of economic globalization, challenges of globalized society and issues of ethnic identity are some of the aspects of globalization that the author has tried to expose. What the characters inherit through their struggle to be a part of a globalized society as the title suggests is nothing but a sense of loss. Kiran Desai’s attempt to present certain impacts of globalization is successful.
