Hardcover. Condition: New. Birthing Hut and Other Stories is the English translation of the Tamil original, Muttu Veedu. It is a collection of five stories where the narrative world is peopled with ordinary men and women. They are the author's protagonists.

Thamizhachi weaves in and out of the narrative with ease, forcing the readers to observe and understand the characters and their lives, and eventually taking them to a place where judgment is replaced with empathy.…

We are now inhabiting an academic world filled with the prefix post post structuralism post modernism post colonialism post feminism. More than debating the various connotations of the prefix scholars are now increasingly engaged in identifying the space offered by it in order to interrogate negotiate and transform the movements defined by it. This book Re defining Feminism is one such attempt aimed at examining the process that paves way for re definition of the different types of feminisms in the Indian context. The critical anthology is an outcome of the peer reviewed and revised papers presented at a national conference and a few invited contributions. While literature is the underlying matrix for the anthology it covers diverse fields like fine arts creative writings social work activism media studies and many more. The editors of the anthology have identified four stages to the process of re definition namely re design re think re view and re mark. All the contributions have been arranged within the four stages which appear as the four sections of the book. Altogether the book provides a rich texturing of the subtle nuances of feminisms and interweave by counterpointing articles across the different sub sections and finally across disciplines. 278 pp. …

Soft cover. Condition: New. Through Indian life and culture, the epics of the subcontinent flow like the subterranean River Saraswati. Like Yuddhishthira, who is faced with the puzzling questions posed to him by the enigmatic Yaksha in the Mahabharata, the Indian Everyman, conscious of dharma and niti, is expected to find answers to ethical and existential dilemmas. While the Ramayana, the Mahabharata and Silappadikaram are the best known of the sacred narratives of the past, there exists a vast reservoir of other epics many still in the oral tradition. This compendium, the first of its kind, explores the many literary traditions and strands that run parallel but also provide interesting contrasts in the experience of the epics. The multiple frames provide a cultural continuum which shapes and is shaped by the epics.…
