Hardcover. Condition: New. The book endeavours to scrutinize the fiction of Githa Hariharan in the light of the variety of power relations depicted therein. Power is a measure of an entity's ability to control its environment, including the behaviour of other entities. Power relations are a fundamental component of human interaction. The dynamics that work behind these relationships create crucial situations which interest writers like Hariharan, who combine fiction with social examination in their works. The book focusses on the different types of power relations and their social, political and psychological effect on the society. It raises pertinent questions like "What is power?" and "How does power effect the life of individual?" and tries to find the answers to them. It analyses how the issues of class resistance, fundamentalism and gender are treated by Hariharan. It also attempts to clarify Hariharan's treatment of the dynamics of power.
