The identities of South Asians in the diaspora are informed by roots in the subcontinent and the complex experiences of race, religion, nation, class, caste, gender, sexuality, language, trauma, and geography. The literature that arises from these roots and experiences is diverse, powerful, and urgent.  Teaching South Asian Anglophone Diasporic Literature embraces an intersectionality that attends to the historical and material conditions of cultural production, the institutional contexts of pedagogy, and the subject positions of teachers and students. Encouraging a deep engagement with works whose personal, political, and cultural insights are specific to South Asian diasporic consciousness, the volume also provokes meaningful reflection on other literatures in an age of increasing migration and diaspora.  This book also contains discussion of the following authors and works: Monica Ali, Brick Lane; Nadeem Aslam, The Wasted Vigil; Bhira Backhaus, Under the Lemon Trees; Gaiutra Bahadur, Coolie Woman: The Odyssey of Indenture; Sharon Bala, The Boat People; Ramabai Espinet, The Swinging Bridge; Amitav Ghosh, In an Antique Land and The Great Derangement; Mohsin Hamid, Exit West and The Reluctant Fundamentalist; Meena Kandasamy, When I Hit You; Rupi Kaur, Home Body; Jhumpa Lahiri, \"A Temporary Matter\" and Unaccustomed Earth; Deepa Mehta, Earth; Johny Miranda, Jeevichirikkunnavarkku Vendiyulla Oppees: Requiem for the Living; Shani Mootoo, Cereus Blooms at Night; Bharati Mukherjee, Jasmine; V.

The seventy-fifth anniversary of Partition confronts scholars with significantly new subjects for reflection. The question of historical memory has now largely transformed to one of its reproductions through mass politics and mass media and, perhaps, professional academic inquiry, while the very meaning or value of Independence is in crisis. This edited volume includes chapters on representations of partition experiences and the re-drawing of the subcontinent’s political map. While the impact of the partition of the Punjab has been the focus of much scholarly studies in the past, and Bengal to a smaller extent, this collection extends the examination of the impact of this political event elsewhere in other communities in the subcontinent, and across other differentials.

From the 1960s the debate in India has centered on the role of the English language in perpetuating and maintaining the cultural and ideological aspects of imperialism. The debate received renewed attention following controversial claims by Salman Rushdie and V.S. Naipaul on the inferior status of contemporary Indian-language literatures.  This volume :  • offers nuanced analysis of the language, audience and canon debate;  • provides a multivocal debate in which academics, writers and publishers are brought together in a multi-genre format (academic essay, interview, personal essay);  • explores how translation mediates this debate and the complex choices that translation must entail.  Other Tongues is the first collective study by to bring together voices from differing national, linguistic and professional contexts in an examination of the nuances of this debate over language. By creating dialogue between different stakeholders – seven scholars, three writers, and three publishers from India – the volume brings to the forefront underrepresented aspects of Indian literary culture.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53516853510417,"sku":"NLS9789042025196","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9789042025196.jpg?v=1778286868"},{"product_id":"in-the-shadow-of-partition-book-nalini-iyer-9781032836485","title":"In the Shadow of Partition","description":"This book brings together conversations about the Partition and its haunting residues in the present as represented in literary, visual, oral, and material cultures of the subcontinent and beyond.
