1 Diasporas and Multiculturalism Victor J. Ramraj , 1996 single work criticism
— Appears in: New National and Post-colonial Literatures : An Introduction 1996; (p. 214-229) This relatively early survey of diasporic literature touches on the work of Indo-Fijian-Australian writers, Sudesh Mishra and Satendra Nandan, amongst many others. For Ramraj the key characteristic of diasporic writing is its display of an attachment to the 'homeland'. Towards the end of essay Ramraj attempts to define how the category of diasporic writing differs from its counterparts, 'immigrant writing or exile and expatriate writing'.
2 y separately published work icon Concert of Voices : An Anthology of World Writing in English Victor J. Ramraj , Peterborough : Broadview Press , 1995 7228368 1995 anthology drama poetry short story

'Concert of Voices combines poetry, fiction, drama and essays in a wide-ranging anthology of world literature in English. The collection includes a number of established writers who, despite their great reputations, have often been perceived as standing apart from the main currents of English literature (and have rarely found their way onto English Department reading lists). Most selections, through, are by a remarkable range of much less established authors. In addition to the selections, the editor has provided a general introduction and a brief biographical note on each author.' (Source: back cover)
