Creative writing, a popular and visible cultural witness to the strain, has taken up this destabilization with remarkable regularity. Troubled Testimonies focuses 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'. Lucid and thought provoking, this book will be useful to scholars and researchers of South Asian literature, cultural studies, postcolonial studies, history, politics and sociology."--Page i. 650 0 $a Indic fiction (English) $y 21st century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Terrorism in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh94009139 650 7 $a Indic fiction (English) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00970135 650 7 $a Terrorism in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01148151 648 7 $a 2000 - 2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171221020305.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=211FEAF6E61D11E7AB1B6A7197128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
