It's not always straightforward to find South Asian literature in libraries, so as diversity curators and being of south Asian descent, we had decided to pay homage to our roots in this collection. We wanted to offer different perspectives as quite often our stories usually involve images of trauma. As significant as trauma themes are in our stories and how they shape our identities, we also wanted to highlight the side of our culture that we know and love, as well as the bold and vivid aspects of South Asian culture. We need these perspectives since South Asia is vast, and so this collection is for people who want to explore the world of South Asian literature in all its grandeur and to delve into the vibrancy, enchanting, and insightful themes of these books.
