Abstract "This book presents new frameworks of critical insights and knowledge on border narratives. It addresses and goes beyond the ways in which partition informs South Asian borderlands to focus on a comparative study of contemporary borders and borderlands in relation to Latin America and the USA border. Through oral narratives, photographs, 'objects', films, theatrical productions, journals, and songs, the volume discusses themes including violence and modes of survival; women's narratives of the US-Mexico and India-Bangladesh 'border'; issues of abduction; vulnerability as experience; countercultures of Mexican migrants; Bengali identity, partition and borders; and rationalities of mass killings, to map border perspectives in a framework of cultural politics. First of its kind, the volume will be useful to scholars and researchers of literary and cultural studies, South Asian studies, Latin American studies, border studies, arts and aesthetics, visual studies, political sociology, sociology, comparative politics, international relations, and peace and conflict resolution studies"-- Provided by publisher.
