Canonizing Othering and Reassertion of Orientalism in Contemporary Anglophone Young Adult Fiction by American and European Writers of Pakistani Origin

Abstract

    The present paper based on the theoretical underpinning of Graham Huggans The Postcolonial Exotic and Lisa Laus Re-Orientalism: The Perpetration and Development of Orientalism by Oriental explores the archetypal, essentialist and the stereotype representation in contemporary young adult fictions Skunk Girl (2009) by Sheba Karim and Wanting Mor (2010) by Rukhsana Khan, the American/European Pakistani authors. Both Huggan and Lau have traced the intended strategies deployed by the Anglophonic authors particularly those of global critical acclaim, winners of laurels andawards have asserted the notion of othering, whereupon getting the legitimation and license of global merchandising. All emerging genres including young adult fictions by Anglophone writers enthralled by the contemporary trend of global merchandising are treading in the footsteps of their seniors. It is the portrayal of these essentialist tropes in the young adult fictions, primarily by the aforementioned writers that the current paper intends to embark.
