- This is a major 80,000-word monograph which represents the first ever oral history covering both the Bengal and the Punjab partitions of 1947. The monograph is based on oral history research comprising more than 160 interviews of people in India, Pakistan and the United Kingdom. It also represents an innovative multi-disciplinary approach as the book combines oral history analysis with literature and cinema to explore a new conception of narrative agency.
