Produktbeschreibung

The essays in this book lay emphasis on the interaction between English and other Indian languages, and how power relations add a degree of tension to this interaction. The book looks closely at how translation plays a major role in constructing an alternate nation and also focuses on Tamil to give a counterpoint.
