Abstract
Meena Alexander, a contemporary Indian-American writer and a professor of English Literature and Women’s Studies. The criticism of Dr. Alexander’s poetry and prose brings in many issues that draws upon poststructuralism and postcolonialism. To mention a few, the negotiation of fragmented identity, the problem of belonging, and the challenge of living in a female body are among her concerns. What makes the representation of the body in her writings more problematic is the language of this representation which is a colonial language.
