Overview of Ethnic Worlds in Select Indian Fiction Book

The book is the first of its kind in using the methodology of Comparative Literature to look at ethnographic fiction written in different regional languages of India.The issue of cultural identity of writers has often been seen as a simple case of a one-to-one relationship between the writer and the community of his/her birth. However, in reality, there is no one cultural space that any writer or even any individual, inhabits. Cultural boundaries are today more porous than ever and it is highly problematic to see the writer as either an 'insider' or 'outsider' of any ethnic community about which he/she writes.Informed by such perspectives, Ethnic Worlds in Select Indian Fiction closely looks at the chronological history of the Assamese ethnic novel within the framework of Comparative Literature. It is very rare that literary representations by and about ethnic communities in India have been compared and contrasted.Table of Contents:Foreword Professor Amarjyoti ChoudhuryAcknowledgementsIntroductionThe Tradition of Assamese Ethnographic Novels Forests, Human Rights and Development: Cross-Cultural Study of Select Novels of Yeshe Dorjee Thongchi, Pratibha Ray and Mahasweta DeviFolkloric Materials in Ethnic Novels (With Special Reference to Narayan, Rong Bong Terang, Lummer Dai, Yeshe Dorjee Thongchi and Sishuram Pegu)A Feminist Reading of Kanyar Mulya (Lummer Dai), Alma Kabutari (Maitreyi Pushpa) and Select Short Stories of Mahasweta DeviConclusionBibliographyIndex
