Appendix That Tiny Cube of Space An interview with the playwright. The Palace of Shadows (Chhayar Prashad set in the decadence of the Mauryan Empire during the times of Bindusar and the scripture toting Brahmans) and The Tale of Hekim shaheb (Galpo Hekimshaheb set in nineteenth century Bengal against the backdrop of the Permanent Settlement Act and the revenue extracting British and exploitative zamindars talukdars and chepattanidars) cast in the genre of the historical play are addressed from within the crisis of our times the rise of religious fundamentalism corruption and misrule.

Paperback. Zustand: As New. Reprint. Mato is a 10 year old Buno tribal boy who is the despair of his mother because he spends all his time daydreaming instead of doing the useful things Buno boys are meant to do. He is completely devoted to his pet baby goat Arjun. When a Kapalik demands that Arjun be sacrificed to the Goddess Kali Mato runs away with him in a desperate bid to reach the sanctuary of the Armenian Church. Hunted by the entire village the boy and his goat struggle to evade capture and reach safety. In the process Mahasweta Devi exposes the manner in which religion exploits superstition for its own ends. In this tender and charming tale primarily for young readers Mahasweta Devi reveals a fresh new face to those who know her only from the hard hitting fiction on which her reputation is grounded. Over the years she has written extensively for young readers using her considerable experience of oral history and grassroot realities to weave stories which educate future adults about an India very few of them would otherwise know. 40 pp.…

Paperback. Zustand: As New. Reprint. Contents Preface to the first edition. 1. The background. 2. The queen of Jhansi. Appendices I have always been driven by a strong sense of history an interview with Mahasweta Devi. Bibliography. The Queen of Jhansi remains one of India's most important historical figures a legendary heroine who led her troops against the British in the uprising of 1857 now widely described as the first Indian War of independence. Oral tales and songs abound glorifying the image of a spirited young woman warrior who died on the battlefield but lives on in the minds of an entire people. The image of the warrior queen captured the imagination of Mahasweta Devi who almost 50 years ago was herself a young woman writer just beginning a career. Fascinated by the personality of Lakshmibai of Jhansi and frustrated at finding almost no written material on her she took off on a journey that revisited the mental and geographical landscapes of those stirring times. Her research encompassed family reminiscence oral literature people's histories as well as the more traditional sources of British and Indian historians. From these she wove together a very personal history of a heroine the more conventional historians had chosen to ignore an unusual woman widowed at an early age who grew from a free spirited child into an independent young leader. The book traces the history of the growing resistance to the British which came to a head with the 1857 uprisings while building a detailed picture of Lakshmibai as a complex spirited full blooded woman who likes to wear her long tresses unbound at the same time as she prefers a male attire on horseback who is a cool headed and far sighted leader of men full of warm concern for her soldiers as well as a mother who worries about her infant son's well being. Simultaneously a history a biography and a personal statement that says as much about the author as it does about her subject this work is a valuable contribution to the reclamation of history and historiography by feminist writers. 326 pp.…

Bibliography. Filmography. Index. By bringing together queer theory to bear on ideas of diaspora Gayatri Gopinath produces both a more compelling queer theory and a more nuanced understanding of diaspora. Focusing on queer female diasporic subjectivity Gopinath develops a theory of diaspora apart from the logic of blood authenticity and patrilineal descent that she argues invariably forms the core of conventional formulations. She examines South Asian diasporic literature film and music in order to suggest alternative ways of conceptualizing community and collectivity across disparate geographic locations. Her agile readings challenge nationalist ideologies by bringing to light that which has been rendered illegible or impossible within diaspora the impure inauthentic and nonreproductive. Gopinath juxtaposes diverse texts to indicate the range of oppositional practices subjectivities and vision of collectivity that fall outside not only mainstream narratives of diaspora colonialism and nationalism but also most projects of liberal feminism and gay and lesbian politics and theory. She considers British Asian music of the 1990s alongside alternative media and cultural practices. Among the fictional works she discusses are V.S. Naipaul's A House for Mr. Biswas Ismat Chughtai's The Quilt Monica Ali's Brick Lane Shyam Selvadurai's Funny Boy and Shani Mootoo's Cereus Blooms at Night. Analyzing films including Deepa Mehta's controversial Fire and Mira Nair's Monsoon Wedding she pays particular attention to how South Asian diasporic feminist filmmakers have reworked Bollywood's strategies of queer representation and to what is lost or gained in this process of translation. Gopinath's readings are dazzling and her theoretical framework transformative and far reaching. 248 pp.…
