Aaydan1(Weave of our Lives): Caste, Gender, and Feminism in Dalit Women s Writings in Western India /Varsha Ayyar. 2. Towards an Inclusive Transgender Autobiography/Akshaya K. Rath and Ananya Parida. 3. Fir…st Person Singular: Reading Rassundari Devi s Amar Jiban(My Life)/Sanjukta Dasgupta. 4. Indian Lesbian Writing and the Question of Genre/R. Azhagarasan. 5. Recognition of Transgender as Third Gender: Some Reflections/Sanjiv Kumar. 6. Pa Visalam s Autobiographical Novel/Meera Rajagopalan. 7. Narrativizing Rape: Issues, Challenges and possibilities in Aruna s Story/Lahari. 8. The Politics of Representation: Revisiting Dalit feminism in the context of Dalit women autobiographies of Maharashtra/Aparna Lanjewar Bose. 9. The Dynamics of Dalit Fiction and Autobiography: A Reading of Manju Bala s Dwando (Conflict)/Indranil Acharya. 10. Analysis and Performance: The Pedagogy of Autobiographies/H. Kalpana Rao. 11. Incarcerated in Person but Not in Spirit: Prison Narrative of Anjum Zamarud Habib/Vandana Pathak. 12. A World Beyond Pink and Blue: New Perspectives on Gender Roles/Neha Arora. 13. Text as Socio-cultural Archive: A reading of Binodini Dasi s My Story and My Life as an Actress/Ujjwal Jana. Index. Women autobiographies, a generic term for life narratives, histories, memoirs, testimonies and hagiographies , has emerged as a genre, consequent to the postmodernist thrust on the identity and the attendant politics surrounding it. Primarily aimed at communicating the subordinated predicament of women, the writings claim the agency. Based on memory, experience and identity, women narrators reproduce the cultural modes of self-narrating, simultaneously critiquing the status quo. When it comes to the personal lives of the women, there is nothing personal about women's personal lives: the personal is political too. Women, writing the autobiography is a means of finding the agency. It is, therefore, worth exploring as to what compels women write autobiographies. Ahead of their Times: Essays on Women Autobiography in India is an attempt in this direction. The work focuses on select women autobiographies covering those autobiographies written from 1876, the first woman autobiography ever written, to the ones written in the new millennium, encompassing a period of century and a quarter. It includes the works of Indian women autobiographers that include Rassundari Devi, Pa Visalam, Urmila Pawar, Laxminarayan Tripathi, Pinki Virani, Manju Bala, Anjum Jamarud Habib, A. Revathi, Binodini Dasi, besides several other Dalit and transgender writers. The autobiographers in the book are from either the marginalised or the stigmatised sections of the society. This book merits significance because of the fact that the writers of the essays selected those women autobiographers, who are least discussed or not discussed earlier. The women autobiographers in question challenge the hegemony in all the forms, including class, caste and gender, re-locating their own identity in respective categories. They debunk the set patterns of female writers. The authors of the essays present the analyses of the histories of politicised selves in respective autobiographies. What is unique about the interpretation is that instead of reading the autobiographies as the usually known creative or imaginative writing, the authors explore the works in opposition to the masculinised, rational and objective form, which in fact, undermines the experiential category. They set up impersonal protocols of the public and political disputes. The authors see how women actually end up breaking into these formal structures, and thus change the rules of the game.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Language: English. About The Book: Interrogating the Canon: Literature and Pedagogy of Dalits is a collection of research articles written on different occasions primarily exploring the alternative histories of language and literature informed by the postcolonial thrust of interrogating the canon. Thou…gh varied in themes, the running thread of the articles has been critiquing the exclusivist nature of the literary establishment, and arguing a case for literary inclusion of the dalit writing. The thrust of the dalit writing being mainstreaming the marginal, the author of this book approaches the subject with a three pronged focus: underplaying the mainstream writing; exploring the politics of subordination and struggles for equality; and academicising the dalit writings. The articles in this collection will be of immense use to scholars, teachers and others working in the area. About The Author: K. Purushotham is professor and Head, Department of English, Kakatiya University, Warangal, Telangana. He has published extensively in the areas of ELT, Indian literature and theory. Some of his recent publications include Oxford India Anthology of Telugu Dalit Writing (OUP, in the press); English for Fluency (Orient BlackSwan); English for Employability, (Orient BlackSwan); Black Lilies: An Anthology of Telugu Dalit Poetry (Critical Quest). He translates literary works from Telugu to English. Besides editing Kakatiya Journal of English Studies (KJES), he has guest edited special issues of Creative Forum; Journal of Literature and Aesthetics; Literary Insight; Scholar Critic; Literary Vibes; Revaluations. He has carried out Major Research Projects for UGC and ICSSR, New Delhi.
