DISCOURSING MINORITY: In-Text and Co-Text

Discoursing Minority: In-Text and Co-Text makes an attempt to bring out the richness and variety of minority discourse across histories, cultures, and spaces. It engages with the notion(s) of minority to interrogate stereotypes and draws upon verbal and cultural texts to define and develop a larger discourse that underlines the major markers of our postcolonial world. It examines literary testimonies and art forms, both classical and modern, to explore broader areas of contestation among peoples and communities. To meet its greater aim, it develops theoretical parameters and puts them to test in critical practice. The book is dialogic in nature and comparative in approach as it makes way for Minority Studies, both within and outside India, to raise questions and seek possible answers.
