{"product_id":"bengal-partition-stories-bashabi-fraser-9781843312994","title":"Bengal Partition Stories: An Unclosed Chapter","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book throws new light on post-colonial evaluations of the Partition and its effect on eastern India. Until very recently, a striking state of 'near silence' has existed concerning the violence encountered by those who fled across the Bengal border. 'Bengal Partition Stories' addresses this silence through the retelling of stories inspired by the division of Bengal, the mass exodus that followed and their repercussions on the cultural, social and economic character of the region, modern India as a whole and the newly-formed nation of Bangladesh.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDespite numerous critical enquiries into the history, politics and social dynamics that contributed to the partition of Bengal, there remains a distinct lack of in-depth exploration into the personal experiences of those directly affected. Through oral histories, interviews and fictional retellings of the event and its aftermath, 'Bengal Partition Stories' seeks to fill this gap by unearthing and articulating the collective memories of a people traumatised by the brutal division of their homeland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bashabi Fraser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1843312999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781843312994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Anthem Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/10\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 640\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.30d","brand":"Bashabi Fraser","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938917941503,"sku":"9781843312994","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_f73cd7a2-407e-4500-baec-38533a9c8d8f.jpg?v=1681438442","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bengal-partition-stories-bashabi-fraser-9781843312994","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
