520			_aMarginalization or Marginality is social disadvantage and relegation to the fringe of society. Marginality is the process in which individuals or entire communities of people are systematically blocked from or denied full access to various rights, opportunities and resources. The outcome of social exclusion is that affected individuals or communities are prevented from participating fully in the economic, social, and political life of the society in which they live. They were allowed to have no sense of shame, no respect, and no regard for the feelings of husband or parent. They were continually abused and were sexually tortured. This book is an attempt to explore the writings of the contemporary novelists like Githa Hariharan, Rohinton Ministry, Gloria Naylor, Toni Morrison and Bapsi Sidhwa, and tries to see how their texts display the apparently contradictory features of ethnicity and transculturalism with such ease. This book is an attempt to put forward the writers of the Indian Diaspora, Pakistani diaspora, Black writers of American origin and a native writer of Indian origin who enriched the Indian literature as well as world literature through her literary contributions. This book aims to present female psyche through the presentations of historical legends, the cadences of mythology, the problems arising out of migration, family conflicts, the east-west encounter, and the cultural diversity. A sense of displacement, search for balance, cultural assimilation and the complexities of new civilization that lead them to nostalgia, are the other major points of discussion of these writers.
