Generally most of the postcolonial critiques explore linguistic imperialism but this book makes a groundbreaking contribution by foregrounding the use of vernacular languages in literary texts and critical theory positing that this is not just an aesthetic choice but a form of resistance and identity reclamation. In doing so it echoes Ng?g? wa Thiong'o's call for linguistic decolonization and applies it in a broader more diverse context examining how the act of writing in local languages disrupts colonial power dynamics and fosters cultural preservation. While much of postcolonial criticism tends to centre on broad historical and political analysis 'Navigating Boundaries' emphasizes the multiple voices coming from Africa Caribbean and South Asia offering a more intimate look at identity formation in postcolonial settings. Moreover the book's interdisciplinary approach strengthens its position in the field. By weaving in cultural studies sociology and psychological perspectives on gender trauma ethnicity and memory it opens up fresh pathways making the work relevant not just for literary scholars but for those interested in a wider discourse on postcolonial theory.</p>
