The Awakening of Indian Women is a classic work of anti-imperial
feminist theory. Kamaladevi Chattophadyay offers a clear vision of
India liberated from the yoke of British colonial rule. Awakening
presents a dynamic portrait of the Indian feminist movement in the
early 20th century, written by a vibrant cast of activists at the
centre of anti-colonial and feminist agitations.
Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay was a remarkable woman a gifted writer and
an activist central to the making of the modern Indian nation.
India's representative to the Global South for many years after
independence, Kamaladevi figured prominently in discussions of and
studies on Indian women and independence. But in more mainstream
histories she remains relatively unknown. A Passionate Life brings
together for the first time a collection of Kamaladevi's writings
on the subjects closest to her heart. These essays include a close
look at the lives of tribal peoples in India, the sustaining of
handicrafts and handicraft workers, and issues of history. In doing
so, the volume questions not only our methods of writing and
recovering history which leave out lives as important as hers but
also shows how the surfacing of histories like Kamaladevi's can
enrich, expand, and add nuance to our understanding of the making
of modern India. Crucial new essays and commentary by the editors
accompany Kamaladevi's writings.

Slender, doe-eyed Valliamma, a Tamil labourer on one plantation, is
in love with Soma, a Sinhala fish vendor and the father of her
illegitimate son. Valliamma is exploited by individuals, a brutal
social and economic system and, ultimately, the politics of a
state. Her fate symbolizes the dilemma and tragedy of her
community, the so-called 'Indian' Tamils of Sri Lanka. Struggling
for a place in the land of her birth and that of her child, caught
between issues of race and language, Valliamma is denied the
shelter and refuge she seeks there. The novel ends as a journey
begins, once more in search of refuge.
