Rahi Masoom Reza
Rahi Masoom Reza (1927–1992) was a trailblazing Hindi-Urdu writer of the 20th century - best known for his novels Adha Gaon (1966), which vividly portrays a Shia Muslim village during Partition, Topi Shukla (1968), which captures the tragic rupture between Hindu and Muslim friends, and for scripting the iconic TV serial Mahabharat (1988) – an epic that captivated audiences across India and even Pakistan. This volume offers a curated selection of his fiction, poetry, scripts, and critical writings in English translation, addressing the lack of comprehensive studies on his diverse oeuvre. Reza’s works explore the complex relationships between Hindus and Muslims, Hindi and Urdu, and Hinduism and Islam, challenging the rigid linguistic and cultural divides of post-Partition India. Despite writing seven other novels, Urdu poetry collections, and scripts for nearly 300 Hindi films and TV serials, his contributions remain underappreciated. This book critically examines Reza’s unique position as a poet-novelist who bridged the worlds of Hindi and Urdu, and whose enduring relevance lies in fostering interfaith and intercultural understanding. Part of the ‘Writer in Context’ series, this will be an essential resource for scholars of Indian literature, Hindi literature, Urdu literature, comparative literature, postcolonial studies, cultural studies, global south studies, and translation studies, offering fresh insights into Reza’s literary genius and his role in shaping the cultural discourse of the subcontinent.

Tate Photography: Sunil Gupta
"I feel most comfortable among people in various diasporas. I don't feel like I have one specific home; everywhere is home and nowhere is home."Sunil Gupta was born in 1953 in New Delhi, India and moved to Canada as a teenager in the late 1960s. He now lives and works in London.Over a career spanning more than four decades, Gupta has maintained a visionary approach to photography, producing bodies of work that are pioneering in their social and political commentary. The artist's diasporic experience of multiple cultures informs a practice dedicated to themes of race, migration and queer identity – his own lived experience a point of departure for photographic projects, born from a desire to see himself and others like him represented in art history.Working in India, the United States, and the UK, his best-known works include the Exiles series (1986-7), Lovers: Ten Years On (1984-6), the series From Here to Eternity (1999), Songs of Deliverance (2022). His newspaper articles, speeches and essays show his crucial role at the centre of grassroots queer and postcolonial organising throughout his career. He continues to forge his own cultural history, fusing the public and the personal through photographs that highlight those marginalised in society.

Southeast Asian Culture and Heritage in a Globalising World
Southeast Asia has in recent years become a crossroads of cultures with high levels of ethnic pluralism, not only between countries, sub-regions and urban areas, but also at the local levels of community and neighbourhood. Illustrated by a series of international case studies, this book demonstrates how the forces of 'post-colonialism' in their various manifestations are accelerating social change and creating new and 'imagined' communities, some of which are potentially disruptive and which may well threaten the longer term sustainability of the region. Interdisciplinary in approach, this book brings together geographers, historians, anthropologists, architects, education specialists, planners and sociologists to make connections and new insights and to provide a truly comprehensive view of heritage, culture and identity in this dynamic region.
