        Once Upon a Time in Jerusalem

        by Sahar Hamouda

The story is told by two voices: a mother, who was a child in Jerusalem in the 1930s, and her daughter, who comments on her mother's narrative. The real hero of the narrative, however, is the family home in Old Jerusalem, which was built in the 15th century and which still stands today.

        I've Found A Home

        by Sahar Abd Alah

        It narrates the anecdote of a fairly tiny flea and how it leads its life in a persistent movement from somewhere to another. The Flea is on the move, in quest for a shelter, wherein it is to be harbored, and wherein it spends day and night. Yet, it does not take long to find itself settled on a white furry tomcat. Then, the Flea’s days are not so palmy since the Tomcat is on the move, leading its life in leaps and bounds. The Flea is at times dwelling in the proximity of the Tomcat’s tail, and on others on its whisker. Eventually, the Flea ends up with being on a giant dog’s fur: thus commencing a new lifecycle with being full of wishful thoughts: “I’d find a Home?!!” This Shot Story purports to create a ‘contemplative esprit’ onto Children, to render them rummaging with scrutiny over their surroundings, and to cognitively appease their mind’s eye in such a manner that makes them contemplate, cerebrate and innovate.

        Outcaste Bombay

        by Juned Shaikh

        This monograph presents a history of caste and class in the modern city through the experience of Dalits (members of the lowest caste) in twentieth-century Bombay. There, urban life did not dismantle caste, but instead made it robust and insulated it in the garb of modernity. Juned Shaikh demonstrates that the urban built environment and language are two sites for the habitation of caste in Bombay, as they are the spaces where it was concealed and eclipsed by class. The built environment is thus a quintessential marker, in which elements such as housing, tenements, slums, water supply, and drainage systems readily divulge the class of inhabitants. Shaikh explores the intersection and entanglement of caste and class by focusing on a cluster of groups that occupied subordinate positions in both these hierarchies: the Dalits. Their experience is relevant not only to South Asianists, but resonates with that of oppressed populations throughout the world.
