Images of Freedom
A visual narration of India s history in the first few tumultuous decades of the last century, this is a compilation of 50 prints with their corresponding textual references. It takes a look at the popular visual documentation of India s journey through freedom struggle, to independence and partition, and the years immediately subsequent to it. At one level, the collection testifies to the crucial role played by what we call the calendar art in disseminating the spirit of nationalism across the country. It is conveyed here as a two-pronged process: the first dealing with the creation of a popular imagery for the masses to identify with; and secondly, the gradual perpetuation of these idioms that haven t lost their connotation even till this day.
Dwelling Places
Extending geographically from London to Glasgow James Procter's study explores black literary and cultural production across the post World War Two period. The author considers how places like dwellings, bedsits and public spaces, contribute to the travelling theories of diaspora discourse.
Sikh Art and Literature
Sikh Art and Literature traverses the 500-year history of a religion that dawned with the modern age in a land that was a thoroughfare of invading armies, ideas and religions and arts of the East and West. Essays by art curators, historians and collectors and religion and literary scholars are illustrated with some of the earliest and finest Sikh paintings. Sikh modernism and mysticism is explored in essays on the holy Guru Granth Sahib; the translations and writings of the British Raj convert, M.A. Macauliffe; the fathers of modern Punjabi literature, Bhai Vir Singh and Puran Singh; and the 20th century fiction writers Bhai Mohan Vaid Singh and Khushwant Singh. Excerpts from journals of visitors to the court of the diminutive and new translations of early twentieth century poetry add depth and originality to this beautiful and accessible introduction to the art, literature, beliefs and history of the Sikhs. Illustrated throughout with 42 colour and 92 black and white images, Sikh Art and Literature is a colourful, heartfelt, and informative introduction to the Sikh culture.
