This dissertation focuses on the ubiquitous representations, in postcolonial fiction from the South Asian diaspora, of characters expressing an impulse to be- and belong-in-place. While literary critics consistently interpret these expressions as assertions of agency and freedom, I demonstrate that these very expressions are places where colonial ideology manifests in its most systematic and durable form. Situating these texts in the backdrop of Partition, anti-colonial nationalism and neoliberal globalization, I highlight the influence of colonial history and politics in shaping this impulse to "be" free(ly) in space.
