Bharati Mukherjee’s Jasmine
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 October 2016
Abstract
Bharati Mukherjee’s novel Jasmine works well in the multicultural North American classroom because it can inspire playful, mutually contradictory, inherently unstable readings. The novel must not be thought of as inviting one particular reading but as permitting student readers to find the potential for play in categories of identity that implicate them deeply.
