Abstract:

This book analyzes the narratives of urban, North Indian women for the diverse
ways in which they construct the impact of their medium of education – Hindi,
English, or a combination of both – on varied aspects of their professional
and personal lives. It examines how participants reinforce or interrogate
firmly entrenched power heirarchies that have long elevated English in India.
Adopting a social constructionist perspective, and treating oral narratives as
impacted both by local interactional contingencies and by larger social
contexts, this book provides an innovative framework for the analysis of
narratives told in qualitative research interviews. Stylization, mock
languages, similes and metaphors, reported speech, and varied interactional
cues are some of the devices used to examine the intersectioanlity of power
and identity within participants’ oral narratives.The book will be of interest
to scholars and students of narrative analysis, gender and identity studies,
postcolonialism, and professional identity constructions of women.
