However, in telling this story, Anindya Raychaudhuri, the son of a partition participant, looks to unity, joining for the first time the public and private memory narratives of this\u003cbr\u003epivotal moment in time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eNarrating Partition\u003c\/em\u003e features in-depth interviews with more than 120 individuals across India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and the United Kingdom, each reflecting on a direct or inherited experience of the 1947 Indian\/Pakistani partition. Through the collection of these oral history narratives, \u003cbr\u003eRaychaudhuri is able to place them into comparison with the literary, cinematic, and artistic representations of partition, and in doing so, examine the ways this event is remembered, re-interpreted, and reconstructed--and the narrator's role in this process. These stories also reflect on the themes\u003cbr\u003eof home, family, violence, childhood, trains, and rivers within these public and private narratives. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCrucially, Raychaudhuri is the first writer to use oral history in addressing the Bengal\/Punjab partition as part of this same event, examining the memorial legacy in both the Bengali and Punjabi communities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anindya Raychaudhuri\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.30w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780190249748\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnindya Raychaudhuri\u003c\/strong\u003e is Lecturer at the School of English, University of St Andrews.
