This book examines the women’s perspective on issues related to displacement, loss, conflict, and rehabilitation.

It maps the diverse engagements with women’s experiences of displacement in the South Asian region through a nuanced examination of unexplored literary narratives, life writing and memoirs, cultural discourses, and social practices. The book explores themes like sexuality and the female body, women and the national identity, violence against women in Indian Partition narratives, and stories of exile in real life and fairy tales. It also offers an understanding of the ruptures created by dislocation and exile in memory, identity, and culture by analyzing the spaces occupied by displaced women and their lived experiences. The volume looks at the multiplicity of reasons behind women’s displacement and offers a wider perspective on the intersections between gender, migration, and marginalization.

This book will be useful for scholars and researchers of cultural studies, literature, gender studies, conflict studies, development studies, South Asian studies, refugee studies, diaspora studies, and sociology.  aEnglish  aForced migrationxSocial aspectszSouth Asia.  aWomen internal migrantsxSocial conditions.zSouth Asia  aSengupta, Nabanitaeeditor.  aChoudhury, Suranjanaeeditor.  2ddccBK  00104070aNASSDOCbNASSDOCd2024-03-21eRajasthani Granthagarg718.39l0o362.8398140954 UND-p54064r2024-04-22 00:00:00v995.00w2024-03-18yBK
