Power Relationships and Social Construction in Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things
Main Article Content
Abstract
The God of Small Things, a highly stylized novel,
was first published in 1997. It got rave reviews
and won the prestigious Booker Prize the same
year. Ever since, it has been read, re-read and
commented upon by critics and scholars. They
have explicated it from various perspectives, yet
surprisingly the Foucauldian perspective is
conspicuous in them by its absence. It is
surprising because The God of Small Things is a
text which is eminently amenable to a
Foucauldian reading.
