The partition of the Indian subcontinent in 1947 was a turning
point for the area, irrevocably altering the fortunes of the people
of South Asia. This three-volume reader brings together an array of
essays drawing upon new theoretical insights and fresh bodies of
data, which critically examine the effects of the partition in
post-colonial South Asia.
Organized thematically, the essays cover a range of topics
including borders and boundaries, refugee-hood and displacement,
majorities and minorities, citizenship, diaspora and the
construction of post-colonial national identities. Each volume
includes a critical introduction and provides a thematic overview
identifying new developments and key debates within the field.
Presenting a plurality of viewpoints, the contributors add a new
perspective to the literature by integrating topics within a
comparative framework encompassing India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and
Kashmir.
This collection of essays addressing concerns rooted in the
post-colonial setting adds a new dimension to the current
literature and paves the way for further research into the
consequences of the Indian subcontinent's partition.
