The Objective of This Proposed Paper Is to Re-Read the Novel In the Kitchen (2009) By The
Bangladeshi-British Novelist Monica Ali With a View to Pointing Out the Role and Significance of ‗Place‘ And
‗Displacement‘ In the Marginalization of Individuals As Well As Communities In a Globalized Situation.
Attempts Will Be Made to Assess Monica Ali‘S Representation of ‗Imperial Hotel, London‘ As a Fictive Locus
That at Once Employs and Exploits the Veritable ‗Ends of the Earth‘-A Set of Foreigners and Outsiders
Whose Marginality Is, By and Large, Locational For Social Ills Like Human Trafficking, Ethnic Discrimination,
And Economic Disparity May, and Do, Place some at a Disadvantage and some Others In Control. I Shall
Also Seek to Show How Displaced Characters and Misplaced Ambitions Complicate the Human Situation To
Such an Extent That Organized Crime and Bureaucratic Incompetence Hold Sway Over the Innocent and The
Guilty Alike.
