Book Description
This book explores the gendered contexts of the Indian nation through a rigorous analysis of selected women’s fiction ranging from diverse linguistic, geographical, caste, class, and regional contexts. Indian women’s writing across languages, texts, and contexts constitutes a unique narrative of the post-independence nation. This volume highlights the ways in which women writers negotiate the patriarchal biases embedded in the epistemological and institutional structures of the post-independence nation-state. It discusses works of famous Indian authors like Amrita Pritam, Jyotirmoyee Devi, Mannu Bhandari, Mahasweta Devi, Mridula Garg, Nayantara Sahgal, Indira Goswami, and Alka Saraogi, to name a few, and facilitates a pan-Indian understanding of the concerns taken up by these women writers. In doing so, it shows how ideas travel across regions and contribute towards building a thematic critique of the oppressive structures that breed the unequal relations between the margins and the centre. The volume will be of interest to scholars and researchers of gender studies, women’s studies, South Asian literature, political sociology, and political studies.

Book Description
श्रीकांत वर्मा पुरस्कार' और 'साहित्य अकादेमी पुरस्कार' से सम्मानित यह उपन्यास अलका सरावगी की पहली औपन्यासिक रचना थी। इस उपन्यास ने न सिर्फ उन्हें हिन्दी साहित्य-जगत का सितारा लेखक बना दिया बल्कि अब तक चली आ रही उपन्यास-परम्परा को भी एक नया मोड़ दिया। इसने कथा-लेखन की एक ठहरी और इकहरी शैली से ऊबे हिन्दी पाठक को एक ऐसी भाषा और कहन दी जिससे उसने अचानक अपने को समृद्ध अनुभव किया। एक मारवाड़ी परिवार की कई पीढ़ियों की दास्तान कहनेवाला यह उपन्यास शायद भाषा में उस दृष्टि को पिरोनेवाला पहला उपन्यास था जिसने नब्बे के दशक में देश में उदारीकरण के बाद जन्म लिया था। आजाद भारत में निर्मित सामाजिकता के प्रचलित पैमानों पर जीते मनुष्य की भीतरी अजनबीयत की पहचान से शुरू होती यह कथा अंग्रेजों द्वारा भारत में रेलवे लाने के शुरुआती दिनों से लेकर सन् 2000 तक के इतिहास का अवलोकन करती है। इसमें कोलकाता शहर का इतिहास भी पढ़ा जा सकता है, और मोटा-मोटी ढंग से भारत में सामाजिक-नैतिक मूल्यों के निर्माण और ध्वंस का भी। कहानी किशोर बाबू की है जो अपनी बाइपास सर्जरी के बाद दुनिया को बिलकुल ही अलग सिरे से देखने लगते हैं, वे किशोर बाबू जो जीवन-भर दक्षिणी कोलकाता के अभिजात समाज का हिस्सा रहे अचानक 'सड़कमापÓ बन जाते हैं, कोलकाता की अभद्र सड़कों पर भटकते दिखने लगते हैं और अपनी इसी यात्रा में अपने परिवार के पुरखों से लेकर अपनी तीन वर्षीय नातिन तक के समय को खंगाल देते हैं।

Book Description
This volume explores ideas of home, belonging and memory in migration through the social realities of leaving and living. It discusses themes and issues such as locating migrant subjectivities and belonging; sociability and wellbeing; the making of a village; bondage and seasonality; dislocation and domestic labour; women and work; gender and religion; Bhojpuri folksongs; folk music; experience; and the city to analyse the social and cultural dynamics of internal migration in India in historical perspectives. Departing from the dominant understanding of migration as an aberration impelled by economic factors, the book focuses on the centrality of migration in the making of society. Based on case studies from an array of geo-cultural regions from across India, the volume views migrants as active agents with their own determinations of selfhood and location. Part of the series Migrations in South Asia, this book will be useful to scholars and researchers of migration studies, refugee studies, gender studies, development studies, social work, political economy, social history, political studies, social and cultural anthropology, exclusion studies, sociology, and South Asian Studies.

DIV“Just then, Rahul saw a spot of yellow far away. . . .The yellow glowed beautifully in the morning light. There was something different about this particular yellow. This one entered through his eyes, dissolved in his blood, and went straight to his heart.”/divDIV /divDIVUday Prakash’s novel of contemporary India is a tender love story—university student Rahul is swept away by a “sweet fever” of love for Anjali, the enchanting girl with the golden parasol. But Prakash’s tale is set in a world where the 3,000-year-old Hindu caste system still holds sway and social realities doom the chances of a non-Brahmin boy who loves a Brahmin girl./divDIV /divDIVThe Girl with the Golden Parasol is the first English translation of Prakash’s work to be published in the United States. His audacious novel captures the profound contradictions of India today, where the forces aligned against change outweigh even the power of love./div
