Crossing Borders Post 1980 Subcontinental Writing in English explores the travelling of cultures ideas and peoples across geographic and genetic borders. It is amazing the kinds of borders that hedge us in some of which we construct and even cross at times without realizing that the will is actively involved. There is both the pain of separation and the joy of discovery. There is a degree of radicalism associated with every transgressive act even as it forges new connections. This volume takes up a host of issues ranging from migrations of peoples and histories crossing of linguistic generic and disciplinary borders to nostalgia pain loss of faith and its recovery. It goes on to discuss violence terrorism and networkings that fail to be contained by the nation state. Issues of gender heterogeneities alternative subjectivities emerging visibility of the third gender and institutional breakdowns are also explored. 270 pp. Artikel-Nr. 74394
