A tragedy of intersectionality: a study of Fauzia Rafique's

The papers explores the emergence of an ideological consolidation amidst the theory of intersectionality put forth by Crenshaw and Mohanty’s transnational feminist thought vis-à-vis the thematic concerns of Punjabi immigrant fiction.

The paper attempts to follow a qualitative approach in terms of uncovering the various facets of Punjabi Diasporic Fiction vis-à-vis reflecting how intersectionality defines the diasporic condition of third-world immigrant women through contextualizing Fauzia Rafique’s text, Skeena.

The performed study depicts the intellectual consonance between Crenshaw and Mohanty’s theories and how immigrant literature aids Crenshaw and Mohanty’s hypothesis into praxis.

The research majorly focuses upon the works of the Punjabi diaspora and studies the diaspora’s implications while analyzing how the diaspora contributes in rupturing contemporary hegemonic structures.
