Taylor & Francis Imagining Muslims in South Asia and the Diaspora
Book SynopsisLiterary, cinematic and media representations of the disputed category of the âSouth Asian Muslimâ have undergone substantial change in the last few decades and particularly since the events of September 11, 2001. Here we find the first book-length critical analysis of these representations of Muslims from South Asia and its diaspora in literature, the media, culture and cinema.Contributors contextualize these depictions against the burgeoning post-9/11 artistic interest in Islam, and also against cultural responses to earlier crises on the subcontinent such as Partition (1947), the 1971 Indo-Pakistan war and secession of Bangladesh, the 1992 Ayodhya riots , the 2002 Gujarat genocide and the Kashmir conflict. Offering a comparative approach, the book explores connections between artistsâ generic experimentalism and their interpretations of life as Muslims in South Asia and its diaspora, exploring literary and popular fiction, memoir, poetry, news media, and film. The collectiTrade Review"Overall, this is an incredibly rich source of material that challenges dominant Western discourse about Muslim identity as a homogeneous entity. It illustrates the contributing factors to this misrepresentation of Muslim identity and experiences within present and historical depictions of Muslim people and the Islamic faith and for highlighting core texts about Muslim culture and experiences within South Asia written by Muslim authors."Danita Catherine Burke - Journal of International Relations Research - Issue 5 - December 2015This book offers an interesting collection of essays focusing on the image and representations of Islam and Muslim identity and the complications surrounding both. […] In the process of interpreting Muslim identity, the stereotypes created by South Asian writers are challenged by some authors because in their view this means the misrepresentation of Muslim identity and Islam as ideology. This work emphasizes the responsible role of a creative writer as well as academics who can continue the dialogue and clarify the ambiguities surrounding the topic in focus. While some authors fairly believe that if literature or theory fails to deal with the complexities of issues, bridging discourses like art, fiction and film can address certain ambiguities.Nukhbah Taj Langah, Forman Christian College, Lahore, Pakistan in Pacific AffairsTable of ContentsIntroduction: Contexts and Text Part I: Surveying the Field; Comparative Approaches 1.

Taylor & Francis Inc Revolutionary Desires
Book SynopsisRevolutionary Desires examines the lives and subjectivities of militant-nationalist and communist women in India from the late 1920s, shortly after the communist movement took root, to the 1960s, when it fractured. This close study demonstrates how India's revolutionary women shaped a new female â and in some cases feminist â political subject in the twentieth century, in collaboration and contestation with Indian nationalist, liberal-feminist, and European left-wing models of womenhood.Through a wide range of writings by, and about, revolutionary and communist women, including memoirs, autobiographies, novels, party documents, and interviews, Ania Loomba traces the experiences of these women, showing how they were constrained by, but also how they questioned, the gendered norms of Indian political culture. A collection of carefully restored photographs is dispersed throughout the book, helping to evoke the texture of these womenâs political experiences, both public Trade Review‘Revolutionary Desires looks at communists as people – involved in different struggles (not least, against their own lives and subjectivities)– in ever-shifting and complex political debates, in difficult and new orders of intimate relationships and social rebellions, and in highly creative cultural representations and self-representations. It is a marvelously rich account of the emergence of a new political subject – a fascinating and untold story that is told compellingly.’Tanika Sarkar, Retired Professor, Modern History, Jawaharlal Nehru University, India‘Ania Loomba’s insistent refusal to compartmentalize the personal and the political in this study of revolutionary and communist women in India is a signal achievement: a model for a radical historiography.’ Mrinalini Sinha, Alice Freeman Palmer Professor of History, University of Michigan, USA‘Intimacy, longing, desire and revolution – the heady cocktail that Ania Loomba has produced is a feminist delight.’Nivedita Menon, Professor, Centre for Comparative Politics and Political Theory, Jawaharlal Nehru University, India‘In this inimitable feminist history of Indian women rebels and revolutionaries, Ania Loomba turns her well-trained eye on a shamefully under-written history of radical political desire in all its gendered forms. These pages are literally bursting with stories of militant and communist women who were nothing but trouble in and for modern Indian history.’Antoinette M. Burton, Catherine C. and Bruce A.
