Synopsis
This anthology, written and illustrated by Indians, presents an image of another English-speaking region of the world. Like the other volumes in the series, it reflects universal themes, but it also portrays a particular sensibility and signposts a particular history., Written and illustrated by Indians, this anthology from the new Figures in a Landscape series presents an image of another English-speaking region of the world. Like the other volumes in the series, it reflects universal themes, but it also portrays a particular sensibility and signposts a particular history by exploring: colonialism and its aftermath; pre- and post-Independence and Partition; regional identities; the rapid spread of industrialisation; the challenging of traditions and values, particularly by women.

    Thank you so much for offering this art book. Your price was fabulous on it. I had no communication, but you are no doubt a kind person. You are also a professional person, and your attention to detail really helped me in making my purchase decision. I'm adding you to my favorite seller list, and I always do shop with this list first. And also, I'd like to thank you for the lovely packaging, and the extremely fast shipping. The book was exactly as you described it. Happy New Year, if I can say.

    I had a problem after placing my order. I contacted the seller who responded within an hour and resolved the issue with no hassle. This book was a fair price and received today. I failed to notice, but the description did indicate it was missing the dust jacket. I highly recommend this seller.
