On June 23, 1985, the bombing of Air India Flight 182 killed 329
people, most of them Canadians. Today this pivotal event in
Canada's history is hazily remembered, yet certain interests have
shaped how the tragedy is woven into public memory, and even
exploited to advance a pernicious national narrative. Remembering
Air India insists that we "remember Air India otherwise." This
collection investigates the Air India bombing and its implications
for current debates about racism, terrorism, and citizenship.
Drawing together academic analysis, testimony, visual arts, and
creative writing, this innovative volume tenders a new public
record of the bombing, one that shows how important creative
responses are for deepening our understanding of the event and its
aftermath. Contributions by: Cassel Busse, Chandrima Chakraborty,
Amber Dean, Rita Kaur Dhamoon, Angela Failler, Teresa Hubel, Suvir
Kaul, Elan Marchinko, Eisha Marjara, Bharati Mukherjee, Lata Pada,
Uma Parameswaran, Sherene H. Razack, Renee Sarojini Saklikar, Maya
Seshia, Karen Sharma, Deon Venter, Padma Viswanathan
