The Indian Partition in Literature and Films
Redigert av Debali Mookerjea-Leonard, Rini Bhattacharya Mehta, 2014.Del av serien Routledge Contemporary South Asia Series.
History, Politics, and Aesthetics
This book presents an examination of fictional representations, in books and films, of the 1947 Partition that led to the creation of the sovereign nation-states of India and Pakistan. It provides critical readings of literary and cinematic texts on the impact of the Partition both in the Punjab and in Bengal. The collection assembles studies on Anglophone writings with those on the largely unexplored vernacular works, and those which have rarely found a place in discussions on the Partition. Collectively, the essays present a nuanced understanding of how the experience of violence, displacement, and trauma shaped postcolonial societies and subjectivities in the Indian subcontinent.
