These English translations from the Gujarati bring Saroj Pathak's work to a wider audience, giving it the greater attention it deserves. Delving deep into the human mind, the stories depict the pitfalls of communication, the infinite possibilities of misunderstanding, of doubt and despair. At the same time they celebrate the human psyche's ability to bridge these chasms and make connections, of love, understanding, and friendship. Pathak considers the predicaments of both women and men as they grapple with the modernity that has been thrust upon them. Indeed, Pathak's interest in men as well as women characters distinguishes her from many other women novelists.

All-women panchayats, which are elected institutions of local government, represent attempts by rural women to carve out a political space that will enable them to place their needs and priorities on the political agenda. Stories show how some women are used as puppets by stronger (patriarchal) interests; but in the majority women take their own decisions and implement them, often outwitting the establishment. The authors used interview-based research methods, and preserved as far as possible the immediacy of oral communication in their work, as the title, a comment by a man when he heard that a woman wanted to attend a training camp.

Towards A Non-Brahmin Millennium

V. Geetha

Politics & Government

Addressing students and the general reader, this series introduces key concepts in feminist theory. Any reader will find the series vitally useful, not just for understanding what new theories mean and how they are used but also for grasping how they have evolved. In her incisive discussion V. Geetha points out that gender is everywhere, and when we allocate to the male and female sexes, specific and distinctive attributes and roles, we are doing gender. She suggests insightfully that gender is both part of the world we live in, as well as a way of understanding the world provocative and jargon-free, the book shows how gender identities mesh with those constituted by caste, class, religion and sexual preferences, forming a set of arrangements that have evolved through history. It enables the reader to undertake a fresh and critical analysis of what we consider to be normal and given, to ask questions, to take stock of the self and the world.

Biographies & Memoirs

<p>Throwing light on the work and lives of unknown or forgotten Muslim women writers of pre-Independence Bengal, when the state was not yet partitioned, as would happen with the coming of Independence in 1947, this anthology is like a rediscovery of their lives. Essays, short stories, poetry, a novel and some correspondence by eleven women have been put together for the first time ever, each introduced and discussed separately. Aside from the discovery of their writings, the anthology also gives a glimpse of their lives that were not always confined within the household. Yasmin Hossain's introduction provides a succinct historical perspective. Translated from the original Bengali anthology, the editors have provided a new introduction for the English edition that also touches on the nature and politics of translations.</p>
