En Eld
Jivan är en muslimsk tjej från Kolkatas slum, fast besluten att göra något av sitt liv. Med pengar från sitt butiksjobb har hon kunnat köpa sig en mobiltelefon, som nu bubblar av uppdateringar om ett terrordåd mot ett tåg där över hundra personer har dött. I ett obetänksamt ögonblick skriver hon ett inlägg på Facebook som ska förändra hennes liv för all framtid: Om polisen inte hjälpte vanligt folk som dig och mig, om polisen bara såg på medan de dog, betyder inte det att regeringen också är terrorister? Genom tre oförglömliga personer och en ständigt överraskande handling tar Megha Majumdars hyllade debutroman En eld pulsen på ett samtida Indien präglat av nationalism och djupa klassklyftor. En eld är en tempofylld och överraskande bok, spännande som en thriller från första sidan.MEGHA MAJUMDAR föddes 1988 i Kolkata men bor idag i New York, där hon är förläggare på förlaget Catapult. En eld hyllades stort i den engelskspråkiga världen när den kom ut och blev oväntat en bästsäljare i USA och kvalade in på de flesta stora tidningars årsbästalistor. NICLAS HVAL är en av Sveriges mest etablerade översättare från engelska, med översättningar av bland andra Rachel Cusk och Kazuo Ishiguro på meritlistan. Han har tagit emot både Stiftelsen Natur och Kulturs över sättarpris och utmärkelsen Årets översättning.»Mästerlig.« James Wood, New Yorker»En eld är den bästa debutroman jag ramlat över på länge. På något vis lyckas Majumdar fånga den obegränsade energin och romantiska hoppfullheten hos Indiens unga.«Amitav Ghosh»En eld är en skickligt snidad och oerhört rafflande roman full av personer jag inte kommer att glömma i första taget. Med slående skönhet och klarhet skildrar Megha Majumdar vilka vågskvalp våra val i livet kan ge och hur samman länkade vi människor är. En häpnads väckande debut.« Yaa Gyasi

Peace and Conflict Studies
This volume explores how we theorize, politicize, and practice peace and conflict discourses in the social sciences. As concepts, peace and conflict are intricately interwoven into a web of complementary discourses where states and other actors are able to negotiate, deliberate and arbitrate their differences short of the overt and covert use of physical violence. The essays in this volume reflect this eclecticism: they reflect on concerns of contemporary conflicts in world politics; the dissection of the ideas of peace and power; the way peace studies join with global agencies; peace and conflict in connection to geopolitics and identity; the domestic basis of conflict in India and the South Asian theatre including class, social cleavages and gender. Further they also process elements like globalization, media, communication and films that help us engage with the popular tropes and discursive construction of the reality that play critical roles in how peace and violence are
