Description

"The Performance of Nationalism: India, Pakistan, and the Memory of Partition" by Jisha Menon offers a thought-provoking exploration into how the memory of Partition has been constructed and performed in India and Pakistan. Menon, a scholar of South Asian studies, examines how theatrical performances, films, literature, and public rituals have shaped and reshaped national identities in the aftermath of Partition. By analyzing cultural productions and public spectacles, she sheds light on the complex interplay between memory, history, and nationalist ideologies in the region.

Through nuanced analysis and interdisciplinary research, Menon unveils the ways in which narratives of trauma, loss, and identity have been articulated and contested over generations. This book not only delves into the socio-political implications of Partition but also underscores its enduring impact on collective memory and cultural expression in both India and Pakistan. It serves as a pivotal resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in understanding the complexities of nationalism, memory, and identity formation in South Asia.
