Shankar pushes beyond the postcolonial Anglophone canon and works with Indian literature and film in English, Tamil, and Hindi to present one of the first extended explorations of representations of caste, including a critical consideration of Tamil Dalit (so-called untouchable) literature. Shankar shows how these vernacular materials are often unexpectedly politically progressive and feminist, and provides insight on these oft-overlooked-but nonetheless sophisticated-South Asian cultural spaces. With its calls for renewed attention to translation issues and comparative methods in uncovering disregarded aspects of postcolonial societies, and provocative remarks on humanism and cosmopolitanism, Flesh and Fish Blood opens up new horizons of theoretical possibility for postcolonial studies and cultural analysis. 410 0$aFlashPoints 606 $aIndic literature$xTranslations$xHistory and criticism 606 $aIndic literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPostcolonialism in motion pictures$zIndia 606 $aPostmodernism (Literature)$zIndia 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIndic literature$xTranslations$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aIndic literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPostcolonialism in motion pictures 615 0$aPostmodernism (Literature) 676 $a891/.1 700 $aShankar$b Subramanian$f1962-$01005653 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461815203321 996 $aFlesh and fish blood$92312556 997 $aUNINA
