Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Abnutzung / Risse - leicht; Vergilbt / ausgeblichen. "Beyond Dreams and Realities of a Nation questions the narrow framework that postcolonial provides and seeks to free resistance literature from being confined within it. Taking up the fiction of the last half century, the work considers the dreams and realities that have engaged the attention of the writers from 1947 to the present across languages and regions focusing on the concerns of gender, caste, religion, nation-building and aesthetics both at home and in diasporic writing. The historical novel has leapt out of its earlier limits to take up a counter position to contemporary events. It is no longer a mere recording or an exoticism of the past; instead, it is an interrogation, a self-introspection and a face-to-face confrontation with the past that lays bare both the pain of suffering and the consciousness of the guilt of the nation.Dalit writing has also thrown up a challenge to classical aesthetics with its raw, experience-based narratives. A new realism has come into being - a realism that exposes the roots rather than the mere surface, and stretches the limits of existing modes. Working through these tropes of guilt and self-analysis, reworking the relationship between the individual and community, the Indian novel today projects the need for an active intellectualism rooted in social concerns - a need based on emotional logic - and a constant questioning of one`s relationship to the larger totality.".…

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.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. The history of the Partition is neither singular nor static. It appears different from different perspectives. The past is never over, its presence looms large over our presents. The Partition narrative exceeds the bounds of history, to the large scale exodus often referred to as the third partitionmost painful and long-lasting in its emotional, political and social contexts. It impacted both collective and individual identities. In some ways it rendered the individual invisible with identity being transformed into a stereotype which evoked conventional patterns of behaviour. The heartache and anguish of divided families and frustrated, failed individual lives lay heavy on the joy of a much coveted freedom. Oral histories break the hegemony of the written. Fictional narratives offering psychological insights and a history of relationships move beyond facts to cultural constructs, the psychology of fear, and the uncertainty and bewilderment of the moment. They enter individual psyches to explore morality and ethics, guilt and regret. This collection seeks to debate issues and throw light on discourses other than those of violence and darkness, working with a chronology, located in time. The narratives unfold expectation, hope and harmony, flight and violence, psychological fallouts, gender issues and questions of guilt and reflection. As the stories trace the shifts in emotions and focus on individual wills, the undercurrents of cultural oneness form a counter discourse. (jacket).…
