Description
In this important book, Jill Didur examines—through short stories, novels, testimonies, and historiography—women’s experiences of Partition. Counter to the move for ‘recovery’ that informs some historical research on testimony and fictional representations of women’s Partition experiences, Didur argues for an attentiveness to the literary qualities of women’s narratives that interrogate and unsettle monolithic accounts of the period. Rather than attempt to seek out a ‘hidden history’ of this time, she examines how the literariness of Partition narratives undermines this possibilityContentsIntroduction: Unsettling Partition ‘Making Men for the India of Tomorrow’?
