Delving into the writings of Khushwant Singh, Balachandra Rajan, Attia Hosain, Abdullah Hussein, Rahi Masoom Raza and Anita Desai, among many others, it highlights the modes of 'fictive' testimony that sought to articulate the inarticulate - the experiences of trauma and violence, of loss and longing, and of diaspora and displacement. The author discusses representational techniques and formal innovations in writing across three generations of twentieth-century writers in India and Pakistan, invoking theoretical debates on history, memory, witnessing and trauma. With a new Afterword, the second edition of this volume draws attention to recent developments in Partition studies and sheds new light as regards ongoing debates about an event that still casts a shadow on contemporary South Asian society and culture. A key text, this is essential reading for scholars, researchers, and students of literary criticism, South Asian studies, cultural studies, modern history, and the general reader"-- $c Provided by publisher. 500 $a "First edition published by Routledge 2010"--Title page verso. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 240-258) and index. 505 0 $a Introduction -- Negotiating the effects of historical trauma: novels of the 1940s and 1950s -- Partition's afterlife: perspectives from the 1960s and 1970s -- Narrativising the 'time of Partition': writings since 1980 -- Short stories about the Partition: towards a self-reflexive mode of testimony -- Reinventing testimonial fiction in the wake of the Partition -- Afterword. 611 27 $a Partition of India (1947) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01353944 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a Indic fiction (English) $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Partition, Territorial, in literature. 650 7 $a Indic fiction (English) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00970135 650 7 $a Partition, Territorial, in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01054186 651 0 $a India $x History $y Partition, 1947 $v Fiction. 651 7 $a India. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210276 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Saint, Tarun K., $t Witnessing partition $b Second edition. $d Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2020. $z 9780429264986 $w (DLC) 2019039389 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317031008.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B484CFDE586511EA978CCE3397128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
