A unique combination of folk poetry and ethnography, Adwaita Mallabarman's tale of a Malo fishing village at the turn of the century captures the songs, speech, rituals, and rhythms of a once self-sufficient community and culture swept away by natural catastrophe, modernization, and political conflict.Both historical document and work of art, this lyrical novel provides an intimate view of a community of Hindu fishers and Muslim peasants, coexisting peacefully before the violent partition of Bengal between India and East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). Mallabarman's story documents a way of life that has all but disappeared.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51525229576480,"sku":"NEW0520080505","price":38.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/617vqtqAj2L_9845f68c-3dd2-4a02-90fe-7a74843f9fc3.jpg?v=1777144841","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/a-river-called-titash-voices-from-asia-volume-7-0520080505","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
