Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What if India were thought of in the plural Island Indias, Archipelagic Memory reimagines postcolonial cartographies through a poetics of fragments that links islands, coastlines and oceans to decentre India's subcontinental core. A literary critical methodology, drawing on archipelagic theory, island studies, and transoceanic memory work, reveals littoral and island geographies as dynamic and porous sites of creolised cultural memory that unsettle fixed notions of nation, home, and history. Island Indias invites you to navigate a fluid world assembled across discontinuous shores, where memory drifts, ruptures, and resurfaces to make fragmentation a method of world-making. Contributors are: Rosa Beunel-Fogarty, Ananya Jahanara Kabir, Farha Noor, Nikhita Obeegadoo, Shazia Rahman, Luca Raimondi, and Sandrine Soukaï. Artikel-Nr. 9789004751002
