Interpreting Homes in South Asian Literature

Interpreting Homes: South Asian Literature attempts to map the narratives of the 'home' in South Asian literature from the advance of modernity on the subcontinent till the present day. It explores geographical, psychological and material connotations of 'home' and disassembles the concept of 'home' in all its incarnations. The book problematises ‘home’ and its experience in different contexts. It focuses on literature and also deals with cultural narratives of home in oral and folk mediums.
