(Im)possible Worlds to Conquer: A Critical Reading of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar’s Waiting for Visa

With multidisciplinary examination, this book explores Waiting for Visa, Ambedkar's autobiographical writing. This investigation ranges from Dalit Studies to Discourse analysis. It aims to provide the reader with in-depth knowledge of Ambedkar's unexplored autobiographical memoir and supplement a range of generalized works. The issues addressed in this book are essential to Ethnic and Race studies in general, to which Dalit Studies is but one contributing discipline. The Dalit Studies already have many texts. These texts are primarily concerned with Dalit identity politics, socio-mythological explorations, and Ambedkarian thoughts on economics, politics, and racial-religious discriminations. These are not discussed with Ambedkar's life stories narrated by himself. This book bridges the gap between Dalit Studies and Ambedkar Studies to project how Ambedkar attempted to forge into an impregnable South Asian social, educational, and political fabric. This reference book aims to attract academics and students of Asian, South Asian, and Dalit Studies. The book appeals to educators, policymakers, and comparative literary scholars.

Through it all, her love for this place and its people deepens and she discovers in her family’s past a mission that will shape her entire future.Framed as a letter to her grandfather and filled with disarming characters in momentous times, I’m Writing You from Tehran is an unforgettable, moving view into an often obscured part of our world.

Im Zeichen des Unverfügbaren: Literarische Selbst- und Fremdbilder im 20. und 21. Jahrhundert (Lettre)

Fremdheitserfahrungen sind immer auch Selbsterfahrungen, die in der Literatur mit spezifischen Strategien der Inszenierung umgesetzt werden. Die Beiträger*innen fragen danach, inwieweit Texte und Autor*innen den Anspruch des Fremden zum Verstummen bringen oder für eine Form von Responsivität plädieren, in der die Präsenz eines unverstanden bleibenden Fremden zugelassen wird. Mit einem Fokus auf deutschsprachige Literatur des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts analysieren sie die systematisch nicht einzuholende Kategorie des Unverfügbaren, die eine zentrale Rolle bei der Entwicklung von Fremd- und Selbstbildern spielt.
