Global Literatures and Cultures of Modernity: Critical Perspectives from India brings together essays written by academicians and scholars from India to scrutinize how global modernities have been shaped since World War II, from the Indian perspective.It examines the literary musings of Anglophone writers hailing from various parts of the globe whose diverse voices present compelling narratives on modernity vis-à-vis the human condition. This volume brings together critical essays on writers such as Girish Karnad, Anita Desai, Anita Nair, and Jean Arasanayagam to examine the South Asian experience; by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Naguib Mahfouz to explore the African and Arabic world order; by Jane Harrison and Wesley Enoch to address the Australian aboriginal condition; by William Golding, Kazuo Ishiguro, and Sarah Kane to scrutinize British cultural politics; by Jamaica Kincaid and Elizabeth Acevedo to highlight Latin American and Caribbean modernity, and last but not the least, by John Updike, Cormac McCarthy, and Mary Gordon to analyze North American politico-religious experiences of modernity. The diverse themes in this book therefore touch upon historical trauma, religious revisioning, masculinity, feminist debates, gender studies, ethnic discrimination and diversity, and caste and class politics, among many others.The book’s varied themes are united by the fact that they all converse with global and transnational dynamics shaped by post-war modernity that define our world today. The book crafts narratives on contemporary global literatures and the modern conditions they represent and does so from the vantage point of postmillennial Indian literary scholarship.

Female Body Image and Beauty Politics in Contemporary Indian Literature and Culture is the first volume to analyze the myriad conceptualizations of South Asian women’s body issues in film, literature, advertising, and other media. Showing how body image and self-identity are constructed in contemporary neoliberal India, the editors and contributors theorize issues of body image vis-À-vis Indian womanhood while touching upon political, socio-economic, and cultural parameters.Influences from the colonial period through the age of the internet and globalization have reinforced Eurocentric ideals about femininity and womanhood. This long overdue volume addresses the pressures of beautification that Indian women face as they struggle with body acceptance and are often denied pride in their natural bodies.Contributors: Annika Taneja, Anurima Chanda, Aratrika Bose, Kavita Daiya, Ketaki Chowkhani, Nishat Haider, Samrita Sinha, Shailendra Kumar Singh, Shubhra Ray, Sucharita Sarkar, Sukshma Vedere, Swatie, Tanupriya, Turni Chakrabarti, and the editors.

Gendered Violence in Public Spaces: Women’s Narratives of Travel in Neoliberal India examines the vulnerability of women in public spaces in India through an analysis of narrative representations ranging from emerging digital media, commercial Hindi films, and graphic narratives to accounts of real and lived experiences of women. In doing so, this collection initiates a scholarly discussion on manifold forms of emotional, mental, epistemic, and above all sexual violence female travelers face in male-dominated public spaces. Gendered Violence in Public Spaces therefore challenges contemporary readers to re-frame India’s public spaces against misogyny and gendered violence.
