Soft cover. Zustand: New. The Sikhs have been a people in transition. Unwanted displacements, but also willing movements, and a changing world have led them through demographic, occupational and experiential shifts. While this has led to the evolution of new facets within the community, it has also evoked mixed responses from outside. As new generations of Sikhs engage with the world through sensibilities defined by their contemporary contexts, they find themselves constructed in images dissonant with their lived realities. The Sikh Next Door: An Identity in Transition traces these changes while also making an incisive analysis of old stereotypes - some heroic, some menacing and some farcical. It simultaneously brings into focus the real people behind these images, their varying social stances and their collective commitment to a common religious identity. The work attempts to reframe the Sikhs, bending a few existing narratives and offering an impetus for a more nuanced understanding of the community.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Shashi Deshpande s novels have frequently been analysed through the traditional feminist framework, an attempt sometimes contested by the writer, although she writes unambiguously from the female point of view. Male Image, Female Gaze analyses Deshpande s apparently dichotomous stance and elaborates on her departure from the limited scope of theoretical assumptions. It focuses on her understanding of contextual peculiarities and the need to affect sustainable shifts from within social and relational structures. Instead of viewing men as antagonists, she therefore considers the possibility of men as a medium for an integrated and inclusive change. The intricate working of the resistant male psyche is observed and tackled not from a belligerent but an analytical point of view. Deshpande s purpose is to locate constraints on masculine identity which hamper the reshaping of the gender paradigm, and to consider factors which could impel men to move out of them. The book analyses Deshpande s portrayal of husbands, brothers, sons and fathers to throw light on the slow pace of social change, as it works its way through underlying psychological conflicts and crises of identities. It also brings to focus, her assessment of the inbuilt flexibility of human nature which eventually adapts to changing situations, creating openings where none existed.
