{"product_id":"writing-revolution-in-south-asia-kama-maclean-9780367132811","title":"Writing Revolution in South Asia: History, Practice, Politics","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis comprehensive volume examines the relationship between revolutionary politics and the act of writing in modern South Asia. Its pages feature a diverse cast of characters: rebel poets and anxious legislators, party theoreticians and industrious archivists, nostalgic novelists, enterprising journalists and more. The authors interrogate the multiple forms and effects of revolutionary storytelling in politics and public life, questioning the easy distinction between 'words' and 'deeds' and considering the distinct consequences of writing itself. While acknowledging that the promise, fervour or threat of revolution is never reducible to the written word, this collection explores how manifestos, lyrics, legal documents, hagiographies and other constellations of words and sentences articulate, contest and enact revolutionary political practice in both colonial and post-colonial South Asia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmphasising the potential of writing to incite, contain or reorient the present, this volume promises to provoke new conversations at the intersection of historiography, politics and literature in South Asia, urging scholars and activists to interrogate their own storytelling practices and the relationship of the contemporary moment to violent and contested pasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book was originally published as a special issue of \u003ci\u003eSouth Asia: Journal of South Asian Studies. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kama MacLean\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367132818\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367132811\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/27\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Kama MacLean","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447708659967,"sku":"9780367132811","price":65.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8aee921e-7a34-456a-b65e-39f732b89e62.jpg?v=1777234271","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/writing-revolution-in-south-asia-kama-maclean-9780367132811","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
