Pluralism and Democracy in India: Debating the Hindu Right
ISBN: 9780195395532 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Wendy Doniger and Martha Nussbaum bring together leading scholars from a wide array of disciplines to address a crucial question: How does the world's most populous democracy survive repeated assaults on its pluralistic values? India's stunning linguistic, cultural, and religious diversity has been supported since Independence by a political structure that emphasizes equal rights for all, and protects liberties of religion and speech.

The Woman Who Pretended to Be Who She Was: Myths of Self-Imitation
ISBN: 9780195313116 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Many cultures have myths about self-imitation, stories about people who pretend to be someone else pretending to be them, in effect masquerading as themselves. This great theme, in literature and in life, tells us that people put on masks to discover who they really are under the masks they usually wear, so that the mask reveals rather than conceals the self beneath the self.
In this book, noted scholar of Hinduism and mythology Wendy Doniger offers a cross-cultural exploration of the theme of self-impersonation, whose widespread occurrence argues for both its literary power and its human...

Love's Subtle Magic: An Indian Islamic Literary Tradition, 1379-1545
ISBN: 9780190628802 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 418 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The encounter between Muslim and Hindu remains one of the defining issues of South Asian society today. It began as early as the 8th century, and the first Muslim kingdom in India, the Sultanate of Delhi, was established at the end of the 12th century. This power eventually reduced to vassalage almost every independent kingdom on the subcontinent. In Love's Subtle Magic, a remarkable and highly original book, Aditya Behl uses a little-understood genre of Sufi literature to paint an entirely new picture of the evolution of Indian culture during the earliest period of Muslim...
