Beyond »Ethnic Chick Lit« - Labelingpraktiken neuer Welt-Frauen*-Literaturen im transkontinentalen Vergleich
Chick lit hat seit ihrer Entstehung Mitte der 1990er Jahre kulturelle, geographische und sprachliche Grenzen überschritten. Ihre globale Popularität wurde lange als Transfer von den weißen westlichen »Zentren« in die »Peripherien« beschrieben, vom originären anglo-amerikanischen Genre zu adaptierten, ethnischen Subgenres. Sandra Folie zeigt anhand von Fallbeispielen vermeintlich peripherer ethnic chick lit aus Asien und Afrika, wie sexistische und ethnisierende Labeling- und Vermarktungsstrategien international erfolgreiche Gegenwartsliteratur von Frauen* abwerten und vereinheitlichen. Ihre vergleichende Analyse zeichnet ein Bild pluraler Herkunftsnarrative und Entwicklungstendenzen.

Lachhima, whose leashed bitterness and anger of a lifetime against Medini and Ganesh is liberated at the end of the novel when Ganesh begs her to save his life, decides to save him, but on her own terms. The title of the work itself becomes a tool for subversion in this sprawling novel which takes the reader through a multilayered narrative into the socio-economic malaise of post-independence rural India.
