<p class="ABOUTBOOKAI"> This book&rsquo;s contribution lies in its careful synthesis of concepts and concrete examples on issues of contemporary concern: terrorism, Orientalism, and Dalit Bahujan movements, and their reception in the popular media as well as in academic literature.</strong> <p class="ABOUTBOOKAI">Drawing from the latest developments in South Asian literary studies, this book examines the uses of postcolonial theory in understanding the structural transformations enabled by post-9/11 discourses of Orientalism and terrorism; the internal contradictions between South Asian approaches to postcolonialism (Subaltern Studies) and its European adaptations; and the resistance produced by the indigenization of local literary traditions in the work of select South Asian literary figures. The three sub-sections&mdash;&ldquo;discourses,&rdquo; &ldquo;disjunctures,&rdquo; and &ldquo;indigenisms&rdquo;&mdash;provide the conceptual space necessary for a thematic guidance of the respective arguments presented in this book. <p class="ABOUTBOOKAI">This book will be useful to scholars specializing in South Asian studies, Indian English Literature, Postcolonial Studies, Sociology, and Political Science. <p class="ABOUTBOOKAI"> <div>&nbsp;</div>
