Download or read book The Peripheral Centre written by Preeti Gill and published by Zubaan. This book was released on 2014-02-13 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Thangjam Manorama was arrested and killed by the Assam Rifles in July 2004 in Manipur, it unleashed a protest likes of which no one had witnessed before. This was one of the triggers for this collection - to provide a space for women and men from the 'Northeast' to tell us about the issues that confronted them daily, to talk about the pressures, the insecurities, the uncertainties confronting them in an area that has been facing low intensity warfare for decades. The anger and the frustrations of the Manipuri women who staged that dramatic protest after Manorama's killing have in many ways been vindicated. Each essay in this book brings to mind that troubling image, each contributor points to the Manipuri women, holding them up as a flag of rebellion, of protest, of questioning. Each essay questions issues of nation, identity, of what makes the people of the Northeast so alienated from the 'mainstream'. Many contributors are writers, academics or activists from the Northeast but there are many are, like the editor, 'outsiders'. But 'outsiders who share a passion for the region and an intense desire to see change, to see peace. Published by Zubaan.
