Creative writing, a popular and visible cultural witness to the strain, has taken up this destabilization with remarkable regularity. \u003ci\u003eTroubled Testimonies \u003c\/i\u003efocuses on the Indian novel in English, deriving inspiration from these disturbances, to essay a unique grasp of the cultural make-up of the times and its reverberations on the sense of self and belonging to the nation. This first full-length study of terror in the subcontinental novel in English (from India) places it in the world context and analyzes the fictional coverage of the spread of terrorism across the country and its cultural fallout. The enigmatic coming together of the contemporary with the anguish of loss and betrayal unleashed by terror occasions a significant redefinition of the issues of trauma, conflict and gender, and opens a fresh window to Indian writing and the culture of the subcontinent, and a new paradigm in literary and cultural criticism termed 'post-terrorism'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLucid and thought provoking, this book will be useful to scholars and researchers of South Asian literature, cultural studies, postcolonial studies, history, politics and sociology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Meenakshi Bharat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138962570\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138962576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge India\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.60w x 0.70d","brand":"Meenakshi Bharat","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065383891199,"sku":"9781138962576","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2586b04b-e858-4aeb-b754-48cba2b32235.jpg?v=1768674829","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/troubled-testimonies-meenakshi-bharat-9781138962576","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
