India Fifty Years After Independence: Images in Literature, Film and the Media (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781900715409)

Focusing on literature, film and the broadcast media, these essays are drawn from a conference at the University of Barcelona in Spain to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of India's independence. The essays look both backwards and forwards in time, both to developments within India and to the growth of Indian communities settled throughout the world. In particular, the volume explores the position of women, both in literary and filmic portrayals, and through the emergence of important women's voices in Indian writing.
