While sociological research on borders has been substantial, there has been a relative lack of humanities research on the realities of modern borders, particularly in South Asia. This volume seeks to rectify that gap by presenting critical frameworks of insights and knowledge on border narratives and cultural productions. It delves into the profound impact of the partition in South Asia, extending its lens to compare and analyze borders and borderlands in relation to Latin America and the United States. Through a diverse range of oral narratives, photographs, objects, films, theatre, journals, and songs, the book offers a unique comparative and aesthetic perspective on borders. It explores themes such as violence, modes of survival, womens narratives of migration, trafficking, and incarceration, abduction of children, vulnerability as experience, rationalities of mass killings, and the proliferation of countercultures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume is a pioneering effort, as it is the first of its kind to bring together scholars and researchers from diverse fields such as comparative literary and cultural studies, South Asian studies, Latin American studies, border studies, arts and aesthetics, visual studies, sociology, comparative politics, international relations, and peace and conflict resolution studies. It provides a rich resource for scholars and students seeking to understand the complexities and dynamics of contemporary borders.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn conclusion, this book is a vital contribution to the field of border studies, offering a comprehensive and interdisciplinary perspective on contemporary borders. It sheds light on the complex realities of modern borders, challenges prevailing narratives, and provides valuable insights into the cultural productions and narratives that shape these borderlands. By bridging the gap between the humanities and social sciences, this volume contributes to a more nuanced understanding of the world and fosters dialogue and collaboration across borders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 453g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032290171\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":45188882792698,"sku":"9781032290171","price":42.83,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_ad96206e-f280-474c-a204-f64c9affafc7.jpg?v=1707942256","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/centering-borders-in-latin-american-and-south-asian-contexts-aesthetics-and-politics-of-cultural-production-9781032290171","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
