How do Sikh men and women construct empowering identities within the Indian nation-state and in the diaspora? The book explores Indian literature and culture to understand the role of violence and the feminization of baptized and turbaned Sikh men, as well as identity formation of Sikh women who are either virtually erased from narratives, bodily eliminated through honor killings, or constructed and represented as invisible. It looks at the role of violence during critical junctures in Sikh history, including the Mughal rule, the British colonial period, the Partition of India, the 1984 anti-Sikh riots in India, and the terror of 9/11 in the United States. The author analyzes how violence reconstitutes gender roles and sexuality within various cultural and national spaces in India and the diaspora. She also highlights questions related to women's agency and their negotiation of traumatic memories for empowering identities. The book will interest scholars, researchers, and students of postcolonial English literature, contemporary Indian literature, Sikh studies, diaspora studies, global studies, gender and sexuality studies, religious studies, history, sociology, media and films studies, cultural studies, popular culture, and South Asian studies 650 0 $a Sikhs in literature." $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Sex role in literature. 650 0 $a Indic literature $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Indic literature $y 21st century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Indic literature (English) $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Indic literature (English) $y 21st century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Violence $x Social aspects $z India. 650 0 $a Violence in literature. 650 6 $a Role selon le sexe dans la litterature. 650 6 $a Litterature de l'Inde $y 20e siecle $x Histoire et critique. 650 6 $a Litterature de l'Inde $y 21e siecle $x Histoire et critique. 650 6 $a Litterature de l'Inde (anglaise) $y 20e siecle $x Histoire et critique. 650 6 $a Litterature de l'Inde (anglaise) $y 21e siecle $x Histoire et critique. 650 6 $a Violence $x Aspect social $z Inde. 650 6 $a Violence dans la litterature. 650 7 $a Feminism $x Sikhism $x Sikhism $2 fast 650 7 $a Indic literature (English) $2 fast 650 7 $a Sikh literature $2 fast 650 7 $a Violence in literature $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240619010709.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4B639DB62E0111EFA856D47D28ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
