Shankar pushes beyond the postcolonial Anglophone canon and works with Indian literature and film in English, Tamil, and Hindi to present one of the first extended explorations of representations of caste, including a critical consideration of Tamil Dalit (so-called untouchable) literature. Shankar shows how these vernacular materials are often unexpectedly politically progressive and feminist, and provides insight on these oft-overlooked--but nonetheless sophisticated--South Asian cultural spaces. With its calls for renewed attention to translation issues and comparative methods in uncovering disregarded aspects of postcolonial societies, and provocative remarks on humanism and cosmopolitanism, \u003ci\u003eFlesh and Fish Blood \u003c\/i\u003eopens up new horizons of theoretical possibility for postcolonial studies and cultural analysis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Subramanian Shankar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520272528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520272521\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/02\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.50d","brand":"Subramanian Shankar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44119765713151,"sku":"9780520272521","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_266e144a-b540-413e-9a6e-66fe78c002c9.jpg?v=1687410829","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/flesh-and-fish-blood-subramanian-shankar-9780520272521","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
