This anthology is not only about Gujarati women speak but also what they don't. In a state that registers increasing cases of violence against women what kind of truths does its literature embody. If malestream writing in Gujarat seldom mirrors its everyday truths do the women risk unpleasantness. Kothari's introduction builds upon such premises and leads the reader to a trajectory of women writers from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present day starting with the journal entries of a dancer at the end of the nineteenth century to the journal entries of an academic woman at the end of the twentieth. The wide range of stories and fictional excerpts show how Gujarati women inhabit their fictional worlds. The trajectory hints at an imperceptible shift from muffled voices to more candid ways of being and yet it never loses completely the middle class genteelness that characterizes literary discourses in Gujarat. 151 pp.

Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. A memoir of trauma and hope set against the 1969 riots of Ahmedabad, Agnipariksha recounts the experiences of an eminent Gujarat High Court lawyer who lived in both word and spirit a life of religious and cultural pluralism. Hamid Kureshi grew up in proximity to Gandhi in a family whose devotion to the nation, and to Gandhi, was absolute. During the riots, when perhaps for the first time, Kureshi-a third-generation Gandhian and a non-practising Muslim married to a Hindu woman-is reduced to being only a Muslim, he struggles to comprehend the hatred and rage directed at his community even as an entire legacy of Gandhian syncreticism stands challenged. In this matter-of-fact, restrained, yet poignant first-person account, Kureshi provides the landscape of a violence-ridden city, as also a glimpse into the many lives associated with the Gandhi Ashram. In an atmosphere of terrible fear and uncertainty, he recounts how his family s struggles for self-preservation were buoyed by the constant shielding presence, concern and affection of Hindu friends and neighbours, and the Ashram community. This memoir is an assertion of human kindness, friendship and dignity amidst mortal danger, hatred and fear; and Kureshi s narration, untouched by bitterness or resentment, leaves the reader moved. Agnipariksha is a valuable addition to Gujarati literature and a welcome companion to Gandhi and Peace Studies. This translation by Rita Kothari-a reputed cultural historian, author and translator-makes a rare document of a period, a city and inter-faith relationships accessible to a wider readership for the first time.
