Abstract
The year 2022 marked 75 years since India’s Partition. In 1947, the Partition engendered large-scale dispossession, genocide and sexual violence in the subcontinent. With over one million people killed in communal violence, and several million forced to migrate to the other side of the newly drawn national borders—Hindus and Sikhs to India, Muslims to Pakistan—the Partition is a mass traumatising event marking the inception of the nation-states of India and Pakistan. Feminist historiography of the Partition has extensively documented and theorised the gendered and sexual nature of Partition’s communal violence.

Feminist Review is a peer reviewed, interdisciplinary journal setting new agendas for the analysis of the social world. Currently based in London with an international scope, FR invites critical reflection on the relationship between materiality and representation, theory and practice, subjectivity and communities, contemporary and historical formations.

As well as academic articles we publish experimental pieces, visual and textual media and political interventions, including, for example, interviews, short stories, poems and photographic essays.
