Beskrivning

Crossing Borders is a gathering of twenty original, interdisciplinary essays on the paradigm of borders in African American literature, multi-ethnic U.S. studies, and South Asian studies. These essays by established and mid-career scholars from around the globe employ a variety of approaches to the idea of “border crossings” and represent important contributions to the discourses on modernity, diasporic mobility, populism, migration, exile, sub-nation, trans-nation, as well as the formation of nationalities, communities, and identities. Borders, in these contexts, signify social and national inequities and hierarchies and also the ways to challenge and transgress entrenched barriers sanctioned by habit, custom, and law. The volume also honors and celebrates the life and work of Amritjit Singh as a teacher, mentor, author, scholar, and editor over half a century.

Recensioner i media

Readers will easily conclude that Singh is not only beloved by the participants gathered in these pages, but deeply respected.. . . . A forty-six-page appendix to the volume includes reminiscences (all warm, some straight-laced, some funny) of Amritjit Singh by a healthy number of prominent scholars and writers, including K.D. Verma, Meena Alexander, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, Shauna Singh Baldwin, Houston A. Baker, John C. Hawley, and Marsha L. Dutton. These, along with a tight preface, thoughtful introduction, a thorough index, and ample biographies of all contributors, help make this carefully edited volume of essays a fitting and invaluable tribute to Singh.
