Abstract

This paper aims to understand what being cosmopolitan entails by delving into three texts- The Woman Warrior, My Beautiful Laundrette and The In-Between World of Vikram Lall. Each text will discover different aspects of national identity and the contrast it presents to the modern understanding of the term cosmopolitan. The paper will raise questions on what nationalism means in modern society and what outlines nationalist identities and the space it needs to fit in the global landscape.
