By exploring the various connections and intersections between these two geopolitical entities, the chapters present in this book aim to challenge and redefine the prevailing narrative of the powerful Global North and the marginalized Global South. While this reframing may not always provide a sense of comfort, as it necessitates acknowledging the oppressive roles that certain South Asian nations may occasionally assume in regional and international arenas, it nonetheless offers a valuable opportunity to think critically about the potential for liberation and the limitations that arise from such categorizations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe essays included in this book employ a diverse range of disciplinary frameworks, theoretical approaches, and objects of study to make their arguments. Collectively, they argue that South Asian literature possesses the capacity to enable us to engage in a more rigorous and nuanced analysis of both the emancipatory possibilities inherent in South Asia as a region, encompassing nations as well as ideas and aesthetics, and the potential blind spots or exclusions that may arise within such categorizations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese chapters were originally published as a special issue of the South Asia Review, a renowned academic journal dedicated to the study of South Asia and its global connections. The book serves as a valuable contribution to the field, offering insights and perspectives that will be of interest to scholars, researchers, and students alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 453g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 246 x 174 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032160214\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":45290064445690,"sku":"9781032160214","price":39.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_889a5546-6baf-4e43-bd29-41341fcaf435.jpg?v=1707124808","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/global-south-asia-south-asian-literatures-and-the-world-9781032160214","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
