Zubaan is an independent feminist publishing house based in New Delhi, India, with a strong academic and general list. It was set up by Urvashi Butalia as an imprint of the well known feminist house Kali for Women, and carries forward Kali's tradition of publishing world quality books to high editorial and production standards. “Zubaan” means tongue, voice, language, speech in Hindustani. Zubaan is a non-profit publisher, working in the areas of the humanities, social sciences, as well as in fiction, general non-fiction, and books for young adults that celebrate difference, diversity and equality, especially for and about the children of India and South Asia under its imprint Young Zubaan. Apart from our publishing programme, we engage in a number of projects on gender - consultancies, research, organising workshops, seminars and conferences. A recent project is Poster Women, which is a visual mapping of the women's movement in India since the mid-seventies. It is a collection of posters that were documented, archived and curated as a travelling exhibition. Till date, it has travelled within India to Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai and Baroda. Internationally, it has been to Bonn, Berlin, Frankfurt and Zurich. Future cities include Chandigarh, Guwahati, Shillong, Dimapur, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Thiruvananthapuram, Udaipur, Patna, Pune, Kolkata, Bhubaneshwar, Jaipur and Bhopal. This website was originally conceptualised and maintained by British Council, New Delhi. It was sparked off by an immensely successful South Asian Writers Conference held at Sanskriti Anandgram Pratishthan, 2003. This seminar was co-sponsored by UKSAWWC and so this conference brought together women writers from UK, India, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bangladesh. The aim of this website under the British Council's management was "to create a network for women writers and to promote internationally voices that are less frequently heard." The site's previous editors were Mini Krishnan, Subashree Krishnaswamy, Lekshmy Rajeev and Jaya Bhattacharji. Zubaan inherited the site from the British Council, New Delhi in early 2007. [Top] |
