Using corpus-assisted discourse analysis, the book uncovers patterns in how authors like Kamila Shamsie and Nadeem Aslam incorporate and reframe existing texts. It highlights how certain motifs and allusions are repeatedly employed to construct narratives that align with or challenge dominant hegemonic discourses. The study also examines how these references contribute to thematic ghettoization, reinforcing a recurring mold within Pakistani Anglophone fiction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAzka Khan\u003c\/b\u003e is Assistant Professor in the Department of English at Rawalpindi Women University.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52160197460242,"sku":"9781666953633","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_26abdae7-1bf9-4357-bd30-abb640575751.jpg?v=1775040287","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/weaving-words-shaping-worlds-intertextual-echoes-and-reader-evaluation-in-pakistani-anglophone-fiction-9781666953633","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
