4.9/5 (27440 ratings)

Description:Revisiting India s Partition: Memory, Culture, Politics brings together scholars from across the globe to provide diverse perspectives on the continuing impact of the 1947 division of India and Pakistan on eve of their freedom from the British Empire. This Partition caused a million deaths and displaced well over 10 million people. The trauma of brutal violence and displacement still haunts the survivors as well as their children and grandchildren. Nearly 70 years after this cataclysmic event, Revisiting India s Partition explores the impact of the Long Partition, a term developed by Vazira Zamindar to underscore the ongoing effects of the 1947 Partition upon all of South Asian nations. In our collection, we extend and expand Zamindar s notion of the Long Partition to examine the cultural, political, economic, and psychological impact the Partition continues to have on communities in South Asia and in the South Asian diaspora. The nineteen interdisciplinary essays in this book provide a multi-vocal, multi-focal, multi-national commentary on the Partition in relation to motifs, communities, and regions in South Asia that have received scant attention in previous scholarship. In their individual essays, contributors offer engaging discussions on South Asia in relation to several topics, including decolonization and post-colony, economic development and nation-building, cross-border skirmishes and terrorism, and nationalism. This book is dedicated to covering areas beyond Punjab and Bengal and includes analyses of how Sind and Kashmir, Hyderabad, and more broadly South India, the Northeast and Burma, call for special attention in coming to terms with memory, culture and politics surrounding the Partition."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
