Samenvatting

This anthology brings together creative and critical responses to the partition of India within and across borders. The narratives examine the complexities and experiences of a bruised nation, highlighting how the barbed wires within and across boundaries haunt its social, psychological, religious and political consciousness.





The book is an anthology of creative and critical responses to the many partitions of India within and across borders. By widening and reframing the question of partition in the subcontinent from one event in 1947 to a larger series of partitions, the book presents a deeper perspective both on the concept of partition in understanding South Asia, and understanding the implications from survivors, victims and others. The imagery of the barbed wire in the title is used precisely to confront the jaggedness of experiencing and surviving partition that still haunts the national, literary, religious and political matrices of India.

The volume is a compilation of short stories, poems, articles, news reports and memoirs, with each contributor bringing forth their perception of partition and its effects on their life and identity. The many narratives amplify the human cost of partitions, examining the complexities of a bruised nation at the social, psychological and religious levels of consciousness.

The book will appeal to anyone interested in literary studies, history, politics, sociology, cultural studies, and comparative literature.
