"Reflections" captures within its pages prose that spans over a decade. The earliest poem 'When the cage bird sings" dates back to my high school years, somewhere around 1995-1996. The latest poem "I'm in love" was composed in March 2007. The poems authored during 2005-2007 have a distinct feel, an idiosyncratic rhythm. The composition of "Illicit" took place in 2006 while I was deployed at Baghdad, Iraq and solidified the evolution of Aisha DaCosta to ADDicted!Enjoy!

HARVARD UNIVERSITY PRESS

Anarkali, an Orientalized persona assigned to the harem of the Mughal Emperor Akbar, is also the lover of Akbar’s son, Salim, the future Mughal Emperor Jahangir. Her body and narrative occupy the liminal and contentious space between Akbar and Salim especially as construed under the male gaze of seventeenth-century European travelers. But while both Akbar and Salim are historically attested personalities, Anarkali is not. And yet, her narrative is pervasive in South Asia, appearing in everything from architecture to film. Up to this point studies of the enigma of Anarkali have centered on uncovering her historicity. But in the tragic performance of the poetics of the body, Anarkali embodies the ultimate conflation of the female body with narrative construction.Informed by oral poetics, performance theory, and memory studies, Through the Looking Glass approaches Anarkali not as a historical enigma but rather as a qissa, an oral narrative. The so-called evidence of her historicity is the performance and reperformance of her qissa across different media: the Tomb of Anarkali in Lahore; early travel writings; Imtiaz Ali Taj’s seminal play Anarkali; and the Indian Cinema films Anarkali and Mughal-e-Azam. The poetics and performance of her body fundamentally signify the foreign and domestic anxieties at stake in the imperial personalities of Akbar and Salim.

The Deepest Dye

The Deepest Dye

Aisha Khan

Harvard University Press
2021

How colonial categories of race and religion together created identities and hierarchies that today are vehicles for multicultural nationalism and social critique in the Caribbean and its diasporas.When the British Empire abolished slavery, Caribbean sugar plantation owners faced a labor shortage. To solve the problem, they imported indentured “coolie” laborers, Hindus and a minority Muslim population from the Indian subcontinent. Indentureship continued from 1838 until its official end in 1917. The Deepest Dye begins on post-emancipation plantations in the West Indies—where Europeans, Indians, and Africans intermingled for work and worship—and ranges to present-day England, North America, and Trinidad, where colonial-era legacies endure in identities and hierarchies that still shape the post-independence Caribbean and its contemporary diasporas.Aisha Khan focuses on the contested religious practices of obeah and Hosay, which are racialized as “African” and “Indian” despite the diversity of their participants. Obeah, a catch-all Caribbean term for sub-Saharan healing and divination traditions, was associated in colonial society with magic, slave insurrection, and fraud. This led to anti-obeah laws, some of which still remain in place. Hosay developed in the West Indies from Indian commemorations of the Islamic mourning ritual of Muharram. Although it received certain legal protections, Hosay’s mass gatherings, processions, and mock battles provoked fears of economic disruption and labor unrest that led to criminalization by colonial powers. The proper observance of Hosay was debated among some historical Muslim communities and continues to be debated now.In a nuanced study of these two practices, Aisha Khan sheds light on power dynamics through religious and racial identities formed in the context of colonialism in the Atlantic world, and shows how today these identities reiterate inequalities as well as reinforce demands for justice and recognition.
