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. Cultural Narratives Hybridity and Other Spaces is a collection of essays which concern themselves with the dialogic relations between narrative and space As they move from traditional folk and community narratives into hybrid spaces and urban locations the relationship between the two  narrative and space  reflects a spatial history of the telling of the tale Spatial concepts such as the personal and the political are in themselves abstractions concretely experienced and expressed only by a living agent The contestation between the two is of long standing with the interconnections becoming visible only in recent yearsCommunity narratives throw up the reality of spatial divisions and bring alive relationships which are fast disappearing in an urban world These narratives are vibrant and keep alive values of human sympathy compassion and understanding while urban narratives become fragmented temporary fluid and are compartmentalised through technology and the fluidity of spacesCreative writers and critics together explore these overlappings as they work with experiences and histories across time and cultures and invite the reader to participate in the opening out of these spatial metaphors in the contexts of both postmodern and postcolonial constructs 240 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).
