Deepa Mehta is an acclaimed Indo-Canadian script writer and film director. She challenges conservative social mores and attempts to rewrite history, representing her story instead of his. Mehta has been a controversial figure ever since 1998 when her film Fire was banned in India for its explicit portrayal of lesbianism. Her next film Earth spoke of the Partition of India and how it affected the lives of women. With her third film Water, Mehta again ran into trouble with fundamentalists when she tried to focus on the shabby treatment meted out to widows by traditional Hindu society. This book makes a critical study of Deepa Mehta's Elemental Trilogy— Fire, Earth and Water. Focusing on the film texts, it examines the silent spaces in-between the signifiers and tunes into the unheard voices that patriarchy has been deaf to. It also studies the impact of Mehta's work, critically analyzing the hostile reception accorded to her work, and the by-and-large-favourable response of the female section of the society.
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 To find your power, you must first break through the delusions you are forced to ignore as a woman of color working in corporate environments. Delusions are so-called rules that have been set up around you. They are stories you have been told to make you believe and act a certain way. #2 The truth is, Corporate America has never fostered true equity for women of color, and company cultures aren’t set up to support us. #3 The idea that the pipeline is broken and we just can’t find you is a myth. Data shows that people tend to congregate with others who are similar to them. White leaders are not looking in the right places, and they are not addressing all the ways in which they force WOC out. #4 The well-known résumé study by Marianne Bertrand and Sendhil Mullainathan in 2003 found that a white name yielded as many callbacks as an additional eight years’ experience from a person of color.
