Selected Publications

Just arrived:
Nalini Iyer and Bonnie Zare’s collection Other Tongues:
Rethinking the Language Debates in India
Rodopi Press, Amsterdam (February, 2009).
Other Tongues brings together voices from differing national, linguistic and professional contexts to examine the debate over the hegemonic role of Indian writing in English.  Seven scholars, three authors, and three publishers offer a nuanced analysis of controversies over language, audience and canon-formation.

By creating a dialogue between different stakeholders, this volume brings out underrepresented aspects of Indian literature and translation practices.

Contributors include Urvashi Butalia, Arnab Chakladar, Chitra Divakaruni,
Geeta Dharmarajan, Mahesh Elkunchwar, Nalini Iyer, Mini Krishnan,
Nina Swamidoss McConigley, Christi Merrill, Josna Rege, Pradip Sen,
Lavina Dhingra Shankar, S. Shankar, Anushiya Sivanarayanan and Bonnie Zare.
