Inderpal Grewal examine les relations complexes entre le transnationalisme, le féminisme et les forces néolibérales. Son travail explore les manières dont les nations, le genre et les empires sont façonnés dans un contexte mondial, souvent à travers les voyages culturels et les récits. Par une analyse précise, elle révèle comment des concepts tels que le foyer et l'identité sont continuellement négociés et remodelés. Son écriture offre des aperçus profonds sur la dynamique du pouvoir et de la culture dans le monde interconnecté d'aujourd'hui.
