Physical spaces are important sites of cultural production for diasporic writers. The use of memory is central to their idea of belonging and their construction of identity. Their memory creates an ambivalent response to their past, causing them to either idealize/romanticize or vilify/censure it. This binary of nostalgia and censure constructs home as an "imagined homeland," to use a phrase introduced by Salman Rushdie and Stuart Hall.

520 $a Physical spaces are important sites of cultural production for diasporic writers. The use of memory is central to their idea of belonging and their construction of identity. Their memory creates an ambivalent response to their past, causing them to either idealize/romanticize or vilify/censure it. This binary of nostalgia and censure constructs home as an "imagined homeland," to use a phrase introduced by Salman Rushdie and Stuart Hall.
520 $a In my thesis, I propose to apply these concepts of memory that produce nostalgia and censure to the fiction of the Canadian-Indian diaspora writer Rohinton Mistry. The theories of Hall, Homi Bhabha, Edward Said, and Rushdie will be applied to Mistry's stories and novels, forming the theoretical underpinning of my analysis of them. Although Mistry lives in Toronto, his texts are situated primarily in the 1960s, 1970s and 1990s Bombay; he provides an "insider-outsider" view of India, juxtaposing implicitly or explicitly his Canadian present with reconstruction of his Indian memories.
