This volume brings together work by established and emerging
scholars to consider the work and impact of Bhai Vir Singh. Bhai
Vir Singh (1872-1957) was a major force in the shaping of modern
Sikh and Punjabi culture, language, and politics in the undivided
colonial Punjab, prior to the Partition of the province in 1947,
and in the post-colonial state of India. The chapters in this book
explore how he both reflected and shaped his time and context, and
address some of the ongoing legacy of his work in the lives of
contemporary Sikhs. The contributors analyze the varied genres,
literary and historical, that were adopted and adapted by Bhai Vir
Singh to foreground and enhance Sikh religiosity and identity.
These include his novels, didactic pamphlets, journalistic writing,
prefatory and exegetical work on spiritual and secular historical
documents, and his poems and lyrics, among others. The book will be
of particular interest to those working in Sikh studies, South
Asian studies and post-colonial studies.
Many consider the autobiography to be a Western genre that
represents the self as fully autonomous. The contributors to
Speaking of the Self challenge this presumption by examining a wide
range of women's autobiographical writing from South Asia.
Expanding the definition of what kinds of writing can be considered
autobiographical, the contributors analyze everything from poetry,
songs, mystical experiences, and diaries to prose, fiction,
architecture, and religious treatises. The authors they study are
just as diverse: a Mughal princess, an eighteenth-century courtesan
from Hyderabad, a nineteenth-century Muslim prostitute in Punjab, a
housewife in colonial Bengal, a Muslim Gandhian devotee of Krishna,
several female Indian and Pakistani novelists, and two male actors
who worked as female impersonators. The contributors find that in
these autobiographies the authors construct their gendered selves
in relational terms. Throughout, they show how autobiographical
writing-in whatever form it takes-provides the means toward more
fully understanding the historical, social, and cultural milieu in
which the author performs herself and creates her subjectivity.

This volume details methods and protocols covering multiple aspects
of Medulloblastoma. Divided into four parts, chapters guide readers
through nucleic acids detection and analysis, cell-based analysis
methodologies, and applications of patient-information on designing
better experimental strategies for future drug development efforts
in Medulloblastoma. Written in the highly successful Methods in
Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to
their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and
reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols,
and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Authoritative and cutting-edge, Medulloblastoma: Methods and
Protocols aims to deliver a clear-cut and standardized set of
protocols to a broad scientific community.
