{"product_id":"barbed-wire-jayita-sengupta-9780415501507","title":"Barbed Wire: Borders and Partitions in South Asia","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe book is an anthology of creative and critical responses to the many partitions of India within and across borders. By widening and reframing the question of partition in the subcontinent from one event in 1947 to a larger series of partitions, the book presents a deeper perspective both on the concept of partition in understanding South Asia, and understanding the implications from survivors, victims and others. The imagery of the barbed wire in the title is used precisely to confront the jaggedness of experiencing and surviving partition that still haunts the national, literary, religious and political matrices of India. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volume is a compilation of short stories, poems, articles, news reports and memoirs, with each contributor bringing forth their perception of partition and its effects on their life and identity. The many narratives amplify the human cost of partitions, examining the complexities of a bruised nation at the social, psychological and religious levels of consciousness. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book will appeal to anyone interested in literary studies, history, politics, sociology, cultural studies, and comparative literature. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jayita Sengupta\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415501504\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415501507\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge India\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/13\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 334\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.90w x 1.10d","brand":"Jayita Sengupta","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136094613759,"sku":"9780415501507","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/barbed-wire-jayita-sengupta-9780415501507","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
