The Raj
Author: Pramod K. NayarPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 9354355633
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 415
Book Description
This is a cultural history of the British Empire in India presented through ten key non-literary texts. Each of these texts embodies a particular attitude, ideology and/or development in imperial thinking, administrative process or cultural practices, and it is this attitude, ideology and development that the book unpacks through a reading of the texts, along with excerpts from the original documents. The aim is to flag and signpost momentous events and ideas through imperial texts such as J.Z. Holwell's 1756 account of the Black Hole of Calcutta, T.B. Macaulay's 1835 'Minute' on Indian education and Flora Annie Steel and Grace Gardiner's 1888 advice book on colonial domesticity, The Complete Indian Housekeeper and Cook. Through this book, it is hoped, the reader will get a flavour and glimpse of the complex and complicated structure that was the Raj. The book will appeal not only to the academic audience and literary scholars keen on the rhetoric of empire but also to the general, informed readers.

Ethnographers Before Malinowski
Author: Frederico Delgado RosaPublisher: Berghahn Books
ISBN: 1800735324
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 540
Book Description
Focusing on some of the most important ethnographers in early anthropology, this volume explores twelve defining works in the foundational period from 1870 to 1922. It challenges the assumption that intensive fieldwork and monographs based on it emerged only in the twentieth century. What has been regarded as the age of armchair anthropologists was in reality an era of active ethnographic fieldworkers, including women practitioners and Indigenous experts. Their accounts have multiple layers of meaning, style, and content that deserve fresh reading. This reference work is a vital source for rewriting the history of anthropology.
