Book

Narrating South Asian partition : oral history, literature, cinema

Raychaudhuri, Anindya, author

Overview

\"This book brings together 'private' and 'public' forms of memory narratives of the 1947 Indian/Pakistani partition, by looking at both oral history testimonies and cultural representations of partition. Raychaudhuri will compare literary, cinematic, and artistic representations of partition with a body of oral history interviews in order to look at the ways in which the events of partition are remembered, re-interpreted, and reconstructed, the themes (home, family, violence, childhood, trains, and rivers) that are recycled in the narration, and the voices that remain elided. This will be one of the very first truly interdisciplinary studies of the cultural and memorial legacy of the 1947 Indian/Pakistani partition. While there have been a number of notable studies of oral histories of partition, there has been very little which seeks to compare the 'private' testimonies with 'public' forms of memorialization\"-- Provided by publisher.
