Borderland Lives in Northern South Asia Edited by David N. Gellner, Professor of Social Anthropology at the University of Oxford Borderland Lives in Northern South Asia provides valuable new ethnographic insights into life along some of the most contentious borders in the world. The collected essays portray existence at different points across India’s northern frontiers and, in one instance, along borders within India. India’s borders with Bangladesh, Bhutan, Burma/Myanmar, China, and Nepal encompass radically different ways of life, a whole spectrum of relationships to the state, and many struggles with urgent identity issues. Taken together, the essays show how it is possible to comprehend Northern South Asia’s various nation-state projects without relapsing into conventional nationalist accounts.

Furthermore, multiple interconnections are explored in varied domains including transmission, development, human welfare and warfare.

Figurations in Indian Film Edited by Meheli Sen, Assistant Professor in the Department of African, Middle Eastern, and South Asian Languages and Literatures (AMESALL) and the Cinema Studies program at Rutgers University, USA, and Anustup Basu, Associate Professor in the Department of English at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, USA This volume brings together a series of essays that investigate figures, representational modes that can be read as figural, and in some instances, the limits of figurability in Indian cinema. Cinematic traditions in India have always relied on eclectic ways of figurations that combine signs of desire and abomination. That is, incarnations often emerge at critical interfaces between good/ bad, Indian/ western, self/ other, virtue/ vice, myth / reality and so on. Such figures are products of discontinuous assembling processes that cut through dyadic arrangements and pass the same character/ body/ identity via different, often contradictory, moral economies and sign systems. The essays in the book consider the issue of figuration in the broadest sense, including formations that are supra-individual, animalistic and machinic.

Modern Spirit of Asia, The The Spiritual and the Secular in China and India Peter van der Veer is Director of the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity in Göttingen, Germany, and a Distinguished Professor at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. The Modern Spirit of Asia challenges the notion that modernity in China and India are derivative imitations of the West, arguing that these societies have transformed their ancient traditions in unique and distinctive ways. Peter van der Veer begins with nineteenth-century imperial history, exploring how Western concepts of spirituality, secularity, religion, and magic were used to translate the traditions of India and China. He traces how modern Western notions of religion and magic were incorporated into the respective nation-building projects of Chinese and Indian nationalist intellectuals, yet how modernity in China and India is by no means uniform.

Out of Line Cartoons, Caricature and Contemporary India Christel Devadawson, Associate Professor, Department of English, University of Delhi. This book looks at the way in which popular visual culture—specifically the graphic satire of Shankar, R. K. Laxman, Abu Abraham, O. V. Vijayan, Jug Suraiya and Ajit Ninan—is a valuable archive that shapes and is shaped by three remarkable kinds of historical inquiry. These are: the history of post-Independent India as seen through cartoons, the history of pictorial representation of this process, and the history of the popular response of the peoples of India to the way in which their country changes. It is a multidisciplinary study within the category of Cultural Studies that tries to analyse the complicated relationship between dissent and the popular imagination in post-Independent India with specific reference to graphic satire in the form of editorial cartoons and caricature in English-language dailies. Does graphic satire radicalise dissent or does it actually domesticate the terror of protest? Out of Line opens up this entertaining yet disturbing paradox of life in post-Independent India. Contents: Introduction 1. Shankar and His ‘Man of the Week’ 2. Laxman and the Common Man 3. Abu Abraham’s ‘Private View’ 4. The Sombre Conscience of O. V. Vijayan 5. ‘Like that Only’: Ajit Ninan and Jug Suraiya Conclusion

1971 A Global History of the Creation of Bangladesh [With Harvard University Press] Srinath Raghavan is Senior Fellow, Centre for Policy Research, New Delhi, and Lecturer in Defence Studies at King’s College London. The war of 1971 was the most significant geopolitical event in the Indian subcontinent since Partition in 1947. At one swoop, it led to the creation of Bangladesh, and it tilted the balance of power between India and Pakistan steeply in favour of India. In a narrative populated by the likes of Nixon, Kissinger, Zhou Enlai, Indira Gandhi, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Tariq Ali, George Harrison, Ravi Shankar, and Bob Dylan, Raghavan vividly portrays the stellar international cast that shaped the origins and outcome of the Bangladesh crisis. This strikingly original history uses the example of 1971 to open a window to the nature of international humanitarian crises, their management, and their unintended outcomes.

Homeless on Google Earth Mukul Kesavan teaches History at Jamia Millia Islamia. His books include The Ugliness of the Indian Male and Other Propositions and Men in White. ‘Homeless’ in the title of this book means ‘cosmopolitan’. Mukul Kesavan, considered by many to be India’s most articulate and sophisticated scholar-journalist in English, covers a huge range of political and cultural subjects, local and international, in this collection of opinion pieces. These include Hollywood and Bollywood, Salman Rushdie and Martin Amis, Steve Jobs and Julian Assange, Sri Lanka and Israel, wildlife at the Kruger National Park and beachlife in Goa. Kesavan’s viewpoints can veer from being scrupulously rational to extravagantly funny. Identifiably Indian in its location, this book is written with such uncommon flair and intellectual passion, and in an idiomatic English of such polish and perfection, that it transcends the local.

Savage Attack Tribal Insurgency in South Asia Edited by Crispin Bates, Reader in Modern South Asian History in the School of History, Classics and Archaeology and Director of the Centre for South Asian Studies at the University of Edinburgh and Alpa Shah, Reader in the Department of Anthropology at the London School of Economics and Political Science. In Savage Attack the authors ask whether there is anything particularly adivasi about the forms of resistance that have been labeled as adivasi movements. What does it mean to speak about adivasi as opposed to peasant resistance? Can one differentiate adivasi resistance from that of other lower castes such as the dalits? In this volume the authors move beyond essentialist perspectives on tribal rebellion to argue that it is important to explore how and why particular forms of resistance are depicted as adivasi issues at particular points in time.

Tocqueville in India

SERIES: FRENCH WRITINGS ON INDIA AND SOUTH ASIA Jean Alphonse Bernard is the author of a number of books and articles on India in French. He has devoted many years to a study of politics in the subcontinent and political philosophy in general. In Democracy in America, Tocqueville proclaimed that equality of social class would eventually prevail everywhere. His ‘Notes on India’ written in the 1840s revealed a deep understanding of India of that time. Today, India is a functioning democracy in the midst of a hierarchical society. Tocqueville in India explores the dialogue between State and society. The author invites Tocqueville to join him on a tour of today’s Bihar, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu and Kerala, before he draws his own conclusions. This book will appeal to all readers interested in India, world affairs and political philosophy.

AURUM BOOKS (An Imprint of Social Science Press)

Opium Poppy Hubert Haddad Translated from the French by Renuka George Opium Poppy is the story of an Afghani boy named Alam, a child soldier who has become a stranger to the playfulness and joys of childhood. The victim of the brutality of adults, he travels the world in search of freedom. “He was constantly being asked his name. The first time, people had started to rattle off all first names starting with A and for some reason they stopped at Alam. To make them happy, he repeated the two syllables. […] That was at the very beginning […]. He’d just been caught just as he’d gotten off the train, there on the platform” The portrait of an Afghani boy from the countryside emerges: a child caught between war and the opium trade, between his desire to learn and intimidation on all fronts, between his admiration for a hotheaded brother and his desperate love for a beautiful girl. With breathtaking suspense and drama, this surprising novel depicts the senseless tragedy of child soldiers.
