Publisher's Synopsis
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.
