The research article tackles the growing tendency of diasporic writers, as well as literature coming from Anglophone writers, to distort realities for the sake of aligning oneself with the thought germinated by the mainstream western media against the eastern cultures in general and those cultures that have been Islamized in particular. The literature review section will maintain how contrasting societal realities have been depicted in diasporic and Anglophone literature and stress upon the need of employing Cookes idea of multiple critiques which allows the non-native English writers to assess the merits and demerits of both their native and adopted cultures with close objectivity and finally create a middle ground as a transformational healing space allowing for the incorporation of the best of both worlds. The analysis section will depict how SurriyyaShujaQazi, a leading Pakistani academician can generate this transformation healing space through her objective scrutiny of both cultures and her refusal to completely blend into the western culture. Moreover, the analysis also maintains how this technique could also help to mitigate some form the eastern prejudices against the West.
