    211 p., Surveying three novels written by writers of diasporic literature -- Zadie Smith's White Teeth, Jessica Hagedorns's Dogeaters, and Michelle Cliff's No Telephone to Heaven, the dissertation discusses how these novels function as narratives and provide cognitive maps which help us re-conceptualize social and political structures and women's places within them.
