New Delhi, Sage Publications The book is a conversation across cultures on the theme of partition and its far-reaching sociological implications for communal patterns, generational dynamics and individual lives. While the governing imagery of partiton is drawn from the context of India and Pakistan, the analysis explores similar processes vis-a-vis Israel and Palestine and East and West Germany. Developing the concept of 'partition societies', the volume succinctly explains the social, economic and political implications of such divisions. The lens of partition is used to focus on how societies that have experienced breaks and traumas are organized and constituted and the ways in which they deploy their understanding of the past to reconstitute themselves. The international contributors to this vloume show how this separation was of significance not only in the strict political sense but formed the basis for long-terms processes of identity, memory and inspiration, and the very basis on which different societies were organizd. The book will be of interest ot anthropologists, sociologists, politcal scientists and scholars of culture studies, as also the general reader. ****************************************************************** To post to H-ASIA simply send your message to: <H-ASIA@h-net.msu.edu> For holidays or short absences send post to: <listserv@h-net.msu.edu> with message: SET H-ASIA NOMAIL Upon return, send post with message SET H-ASIA MAIL H-ASIA WEB HOMEPAGE URL: http://h-net.msu.edu/~asia/
