About the Book
This volume III takes forward the journey that began in Cultures of the Indigenous: India and Beyond (Volume 1) and De-territorialising Diversities: Literatures of the Indigenous and Marginalised (Volume 2). As a collection of shared narratives and lived experiences, it goes beyond mere explorations. The essays from popular art, cinema, literature, and culture, widen cracks beneath the surface, uncover spaces that need revelation, voice silences that need to be heard, and raise pertinent questions for which perhaps there are no ready answers. Some of them are about the thematics of representation in an age of postcoloniality and cosmopolitanism, others are regarding the local in the global, still others are about acceptance and rejection. The articles cover a vast expanse, both, temporal and spatial, all engaged in de-territorialising diversities of communities in India and beyond. They map the vast and varied spectrum of debates and dialogues emerging from the dialectical engagements of the indigenous communities: their constructions, representations, collaborations, and negotiations in the popular imagination.
