Since the 9/11 attacks terror has established its permeating hold
on society's psyche. Creative writing, a popular and visible
cultural witness to the strain, has taken up this destabilization
with remarkable regularity. Troubled Testimonies focuses on the
Indian novel in English, deriving inspiration from these
disturbances, to essay a unique grasp of the cultural make-up of
the times and its reverberations on the sense of self and belonging
to the nation. This first full-length study of terror in the
subcontinental novel in English (from India) places it in the world
context and analyzes the fictional coverage of the spread of
terrorism across the country and its cultural fallout. The
enigmatic coming together of the contemporary with the anguish of
loss and betrayal unleashed by terror occasions a significant
redefinition of the issues of trauma, conflict and gender, and
opens a fresh window to Indian writing and the culture of the
subcontinent, and a new paradigm in literary and cultural criticism
termed 'post-terrorism'. Lucid and thought provoking, this book
will be useful to scholars and researchers of South Asian
literature, cultural studies, postcolonial studies, history,
politics and sociology.
