| 520 | |a "This volume examines the idea of India as it emerges in the writing of its anglophone elite, post-2000. Drawing on a variety of genres, including fiction, histories, non-fiction assessments - economic, political and business - travel accounts and so on, this book maps the explosion of English-language writing in India after the economic liberalisation and points to the nation's sense of its growing importance as a producer of culture. From Ramchandra Guha to William Dalrymple, from Arundhati Roy to Pankaj Mishra, from Jhumpa Lahiri to Amitav Ghosh, from Amartya Sen to Gurcharan Das, from Barkha Dutt to Tarun Tejpal, this investigation takes us from aesthetic imaginings of the nation to its fractured political fault lines, the ideological predispositions of the writers often pointing to an asymmetrically constituted India. A major intervention on how postcolonial India is written about and imagined in the anglophone world, this book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of cultural studies, literature, history and South Asian studies. It will also be of interest to general readers with an interest in India and Indian writing"-- |c Provided by publisher. | ||
