"The twenty essays of her debut collection, Southbound, tackle white feminism at a national feminist organization, the early years of the AIDS epidemic in the South, voter suppression, gun violence and the gun sense movement, the whitewashing of southern literature, the 1982 racialized killing of Vincent Chin, social media's role in political accountability, evangelical Christianity's marriage to extremism, and the rise of nationalism worldwide. 

Spanning more than half a century and cities from New Delhi to Atlanta, Enjeti’s debut novel The Parted Earth is a heartfelt and human portrait of the long shadow of the Partition of India on the lives of three generations of women."
