This book explores the postcolonial modern across South Asian literatures and cultures, while demonstrating that postcoloniality is an ongoing lived experience and that modernity has always been a many-voiced historical reality. It contends that our realities and our sense of a location within them have always comprised an experiential manyness of time and space that cannot forcibly be reconciled into identities that are singularly imagined. Therefore, whether viewed historically or experientially, categories such as modernity, postcoloniality, nationhood, or gender cannot be understood singularly. The author reflects on such core tensions within representations and theorizations of postcoloniality. They contemplate possibilities for a lexicon that encompasses the vast polyvalences and precarities that constitute our being, thinking and pursuits of joy and dignity from locations within the postcolonies, and through it the tangible labors of anticolonial thought and decolonization.
