This book is a detailed study of the Indian graphic novel as a
significant category of South Asian literature. It focuses on the
genre's engagement with history, memory and cultural identity and
its critique of the nation in the form of dissident histories and
satire. Deploying a nuanced theoretical framework, the volume
closely examines major texts such as The Harappa Files, Delhi Calm,
Kari, Bhimayana, Gardener in the Wasteland, Pao Anthology, and
authors and illustrators including Sarnath Banerjee, Vishwajyoti
Ghosh, Durgabai Vyam, Amrutha Patil, Srividya Natarajan and others.
It also explores - using key illustrations from the texts -
critical themes like contested and alternate histories, urban
realities, social exclusion, contemporary politics, and identity
politics. A major intervention in Indian writing in English, this
volume will be of great importance to scholars and researchers of
South Asian literature, cultural studies, art and visual culture,
and sociology.
