PREETHA MANI is Assistant Professor of South Asian Literatures at Rutgers University.
Her research and teaching interests include modern Hindi, Tamil, and Indian literatures; South
Asian feminisms; women’s writing; world literature; translation studies; realisms and modernisms;
and postcolonial studies. Her current book project explores twentieth- century short story writing
in Hindi and Tamil to propose a view of Indian literature as a field of comparative literature that
is comprised of mutually imbricated local, regional, national, and global processes of literary
canonization.
