    http://www.georgetown.edu/faculty/bassr/heath/syllabuild/iguide/mukher.html
    
    Extractions: Roshni Rustomji-Kerns It is important to read and discuss Mukherjee's "A Wife's Story" as an integral part of twentieth-century American literature and not as an "exotic" short story by a foreign writer. As the essay accompanying "A Wife's Story" points out, Mukherjee identifies herself very strongly as an American writer writing about twentieth-century Americans. Although most of her stories are about South Asian-Americans (South Asia in the contemporary geopolitical arena usually consists of Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and the Maldive Islands), she sees herself as being primarily influenced by, as well as being part of, the tradition of Euro-American writers. In a brief interview published in the November, 1993 issue of San Francisco Focus in which she discusses her novel, The Holder of the World (published in 1993 after the publication of the second edition of The Heath Anthology ), she says, "I think of myself as an American writer . . . I want to focus on the making of the American mind." But instead of an exploration of the making of the American mind

    Extractions: Bharati Mukherjee is one of the best-known South Asian American woman writers. She has stated that she wants to be viewed not as a hyphenated South Asian–American writer but as an American writer. In a televised interview with Bill Moyers ( Bill Moyers: A World of Ideas II, New York: Doubleday, 1990) she commented, “I feel very American...I knew the moment I landed as a student in 1961...that this is where I belonged. It was an instant kind of love.” One wonders, however, if one can really discard a part of one’s personal/political history even in the process of transformation, especially since the past displays a tenacious, trickster-like ability to appear at the oddest times and in the most astonishing disguises. The insistence on being known as an American, without acknowledging one’s Asian heritage, may grate on those who see the term “American” as denoting the Euro -American socio-politically dominant group only. For those of us who feel that it is absolutely necessary to continue emphasizing our essentially non-European, American identities until we are truly acknowledged as Americans with our own distinctive American presence, Mukherjee’s stance may seem simplistic. Yet, as many of her stories show she is neither ignorant of nor insensitive to racism and oppression in the United States. In the interview with Moyers, she also said that “Multiculturalism, in a sense, is well intentioned, but it ends up marginalizing the person.”

    Extractions: Sponsors: Ball State Graduate School and Honors College Bharati Mukherjee is a naturalized American citizen of Indian origin who has written extensively about the immigrant experience in her acclaimed novels and stories. “Jasmine” is her most popular novel, and she won the National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction for “The Middleman and Other Stories.” Her work reaches wide audiences and is taught in university curricula. She has established herself as a powerful member of the American literary scene, one whose most memorable works reflect her pride in her Indian heritage, but also her celebration of embracing America. As she said in an interview in the Massachusetts Review , "the immigrants in my stories go through extreme transformations in America and at the same time they alter the country's appearance and psychological make-up."

    http://www.albany.edu/writers-inst/mukherjee_blaise.html
    
    Extractions: Clark Blaise is the child of expatriate Canadians (father French-Canadian, mother English-Canadian) who roamed the United States in search of better employment. Blaise has written, "As a native-born American with foreign parents, and as a child who attended an average of two schools a year in 25 different cities, I grew up with an outsider's view of America and a romanticized exile's view of French Canada. . .My interest is in 'tribalism' on the American continent, and in all groups who refuse amalgamation and prefer codes and taboos of their." Blaise's rootlessness is linked, in part, to his family's economic distress. Mukherjee's, by contrast, is linked to her family's relative affluence. Born in India, and daughter of a successful businessman, Mukherjee was sent to boarding schools in both Switzerland and Britain, and subsequently attended a school in India run by Irish nuns. Her teachers encouraged her to abandon her Indian heritage in favor of European culture. At age 21, she left India to attend the world-renowned Iowa Writers' Workshop, where she met Blaise, her future husband.

May 28, 2004 Conquering America: Bharati Mukherjee Bharati Mukherjee writes vivid, sensual, and troubling stories about America’s newest immigrants, Asians like herself. Mukherjee’s early novels spoke from India, the old world she left behind to marry an American. Upon arriving in America she set out to capture the New World experiences of Asian immigrants. In this program with Bill Moyers, Mukherjee discusses America’s newest immigrants and the building resentment and tensions between our country’s various cultures.

    Extractions: Number 34-35 (1993) Edited by Vijay Mishra Runar Vignisson I was wondering if we could just start by your telling us a little bit about yourself, however you want to start. Bharati Mukherjee I was born in Calcutta, in the Eastern part of India, in 1940 into a wealthy traditional family. When I was growing up I lived in an extended family so that there were 40, 45 people living in the house at the same time. There was absolutely no sense of privacy, every room felt crowded. In fact in the traditional Bengali Hindu family of my kind to want privacy was to be selfish. That was why I was so entranced by the idea of Iceland having little population and lots of space. RV Yes, its very hard, coming from Iceland, to imagine that situation because, you know, there are two people per square kilometre in Iceland. So that's very interesting. BM RV Oh really?
