Forms of urban outcasting.Extending current scholarship on South Asian Urban and Literary Studies, this volume examines the role of the discontents of the South Asian city. It investigates how South Asian literature and literature about South Asia attends to urban margins, regardless of whether the definition of margin is spatial, psychological, gendered, or sociopolitical. Because South Asian cities are defined by the palimpsestic confluence of, among other things, colonial oppression, anticolonial nationalism, postcolonial governance, and twenty-first century transnational capital, they are sites where the many faces of empowerment and disempowerment are elaborated. The book considers fiction, non-fiction, comics, and genre fiction from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka.Routledge research in postcolonial literatures ;55.City margins in South Asian literatureSouth Asian literature (English)History and criticismSouth Asian literatureHistory and criticismCities and towns in literatureMarginality, Social, in literatureOutcasts in literaturePostcolonialism in literatureSouth Asian literature (English)History and criticism.South Asian literatureHistory and criticism.Cities and towns in literature.Marginality, Social, in literature.Outcasts in literature.Postcolonialism in literature.820.9/954Al-wazedi Umme2002515Chakraborty Madhurima2002516MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911103749703321Postcolonial urban outcasts4786526UNINA
