Recenzii

"Witnessing Partition, now updated to include recent writing and scholarship on the afterlives of Partition, remains crucial to our understanding of the many ways in which that process continues to structure politics and culture across the subcontinent. Highly recommended." — Suvir Kaul, A. M. Rosenthal Professor, Department of English, University of Pennsylvania, USA
"Tarun Saint’s Witnessing Partition: Memory, History, Fiction offers a lucid and scholarly account of novels about the wounds inflicted and traumas suffered by individuals and communities during the partition of 1947. The second edition of his book should again remind us about two contemporary ethical and political concerns: the troubling relation between religious, nationalist and racial politics and genocide; and the urgent need of 'courage-teachers' (satyagrahis) who always refuse, under all circumstances, hysterical demands for aggression and revenge. Tarun’s new "Afterword" argues that partition violence still haunts our present social and religious discourse; its scars have still not healed; its melancholy has yet not lifted." — Alok Bhalla, author of Stories about the Partition of India (4 volumes) and Partition Dialogues
