Gender and Violence in British India

The Road to Amritsar, 1914-1919

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In British India, the years during and following World War I saw imperial unity deteriorate into a bitter dispute over "native" effeminacy and India's postwar fitness for self-rule. This study demonstrates that increasingly ferocious dispute culminated in the actual physical violence of the Amritsar Massacre of 1919.
