Textual subjects in motion: Letters, literature and print-media in an Indian-South African exchange (1928-1946)
2012
Overview
An intriguing epistolary exchange, criss-crossing the Indian Ocean and animated by the circulation of print media and literary texts, unfolded between South Africa and India from 1928 to 1946. The three figures engaged in this 'continuous correspondence' are Marie Kathleen Jeffreys (1896-1968), V. S. Srinivasa Sastri (1869-1946) and P. Kodanda Rao (c.1889-?). Jeffreys, a white South African, was employed at the Cape Town Archives; her interlocutors, Sastri and his personal secretary Rao, were based in South Africa from mid 1927 to early 1929 during Sastri's tenure as the first Agent of Colonial India. Materialised through a network of letters and the exchange of literature and print media, the relationship between the three knits together the geographically distinct domains of South Africa and India in striking ways. The geographical reach of this trans-oceanic exchange forms part of a larger web of relations and textual circulations increasingly drawing scholarly attention.
