Nerlekar shows how a bilingual, materialist reading of Kolatkar's texts uncovers a uniquely resistant sense of the \"local\" that defies the monolinguistic cultural pressures of the post-1960 years and straddles the boundaries of English and Marathi writing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eBombay Modern\u003c\/i\u003e uncovers an alternative and provincial modernism through poetry, a genre that is marginal to postcolonial studies, and through bilingual scholarship across English and Marathi texts, a methodology that is currently peripheral at best to both modernist studies and postcolonial literary criticism in India. Eschewing any attempt to define an overarching or universal modernism, \u003ci\u003eBombay Modern\u003c\/i\u003e delimits its sphere of study to \"Bombay\" and to the \"post-1960\" (the \u003ci\u003esathottari\u003c\/i\u003e period) in an attempt to examine at close range the specific way in which this poetry redeployed the regional, the national, and the international to create a very tangible yet transient local.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anjali Nerlekar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810132737\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810132733\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Anjali Nerlekar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49096742437119,"sku":"9780810132733","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bombay-modern-anjali-nerlekar-9780810132733","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
