{"product_id":"the-partition-of-bengal-debjani-sengupta-9781107061705","title":"The Partition of Bengal: Fragile Borders and New Identities","description":"This study looks at the rich literature that has been spawned through the historical imagination of Bengali-speaking writers in West Bengal and Bangladesh through issues of homelessness, migration and exile to see how the Partition of Bengal in 1947 has thrown a long shadow over memories and cultural practices. Through a rich trove of literary and other materials, the book lays bare how the Partition has been remembered or how it has been forgotten. For the first time, hitherto untranslated archival materials and texts in Bangla have been put together to assess the impact of 1947 on the cultural memory of Bangla-speaking peoples and communities. This study contends that there is not one but many smaller partitions that women and men suffered, each with its own textures of pain, guilt and affirmation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Debjani SenGupta\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107061709\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107061705\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/22\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 283\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.58h x 6.22w x 0.91d","brand":"Debjani SenGupta","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46545665949951,"sku":"9781107061705","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_54460935-df70-4b38-af57-538200e24ae3.jpg?v=1738183039","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-partition-of-bengal-debjani-sengupta-9781107061705","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
