What Parvati does not Say – Gopika Jadeja

Description

For more than twenty years, award-winning translator, scholar, editor and poet Gopika Jadeja has brought significant Dalit and Adivasi voices to the attention of a literary culture in which they have been absent or silenced.  For the very first time, this volume highlights Jadeja’s own decades-long creative oeuvre, tracing the development of a fearless, committed poetics: from early clarities about the dynamics of love and power to an affirmation of desire as a decolonial force. Amid a changing India and turbulent world marked by violence, inhumanity and erasure, WHAT PARVATI DOES NOT SAY makes a stirring argument for the power of memory against forgetting, and love as bulwark against the ravages of history.
