This book explores the aesthetic forms of the political left across
the borders of post-colonial, post-partition South Asia. Spanning
India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Bangladesh, the contributors study
art, film, literature, poetry and cultural discourse to illuminate
the ways in which political commitment has been given aesthetic
form and artistic value by artists and by cultural and political
activists in postcolonial South Asia. With a focused
conceptualization this volume asks: Does the political left in
South Asia have a recognizable aesthetic form? And if so, what
political effects do left-wing artistic movements and aesthetic
artefacts have in shaping movements against inequality and
injustice? Reframing political aesthetics within a postcolonial and
decolonised framework, the contributors detail the trajectories and
transformations of left-wing cultural formations and affiliations
and focus on connections and continuities across post-1947/8 India,
Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
