The body, a nation when your body is a memoir of war
Srivastava, Garima
The body, a nation when your body is a memoir of war / Garima Srivastava - 1st ed. - New Delhi Vitasta Publishing c2023 - xxvii, 201 p. 22 cm.
It is hard to define the identity and bodily autonomy of a woman, more so in the face of war. The knowledge of crime and abuse often plays only in the background of our lives, but for the countless women who have witnessed the full capabilities of mankind, the world remains a hostile place. For author Garima Srivastava, what was to be a two-year posting in a foreign land, slowly turned into a journey of discovery—of the self and the other. Chronicling her thoughts about family, the homeland, womanhood, Simone de Beauvoir, and the everlasting remnants of a war that ravaged Europe, she leaves us with thoughts and questions to ask of our own.
