《美國南亞裔文學作品選》從跨學科與跨文化視野考察美國南亞裔文學，精選23位美國南亞裔作家的作品，編目按照作家出生時間順序進行排列。選集收錄印度裔、巴基斯坦裔和斯里蘭卡裔等美國南亞裔作家的作品。本書將每個章節(jié)主要包括作者簡介、作品選讀、作品賞析和延伸閱讀書目；作品文類包括自傳、小說、詩歌、散文等多種體裁，作品出版時間跨度長達近一個世紀，內(nèi)容多樣，風格各異，從不同層面和角度呈現(xiàn)美國南亞裔文學的豐富內(nèi)容和歷史脈絡，同時也展現(xiàn)美國南亞裔文學的獨特性和發(fā)展趨勢。
美國南亞裔文學是美國亞裔文學的重要組成部分，南亞裔文學及研究與亞裔的整體生存狀態(tài)相關，學術界不能忽視各個少數(shù)族裔在種族、歷史、人口及政治訴求等方面的發(fā)聲。國內(nèi)的研究集中于華裔文學領域，對于南亞裔文學的經(jīng)典作品的專題研究很少，詩歌戲劇方面的研究更是不夠重視。在一帶一路倡議與中國文化走出去的時代背景下，有助于推動“美國亞裔文學”研究的總體性發(fā)展。
