Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the All-India Progressive Writers' Association (AIPWA), this book offers a historical account that intertwines India's political landscape with literary movements in South Asia and the West. It examines how these influences shaped progressive writing and delves into the theorization of literature and politics. The narrative highlights the connections between progressive literature and the ideas of Leon Trotsky and Antonio Gramsci, exploring how these thinkers' concepts resonate with the writers' own understanding, despite their limited knowledge of them.
