Muslim Political Discourse in Postcolonial India

Monuments, Memory, Contestation

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book seeks to establish a link between two different issues ¿ the process by which historic buildings become monuments (or the process of ¿monumentalisation¿) and gradual transformation of these historic/legal entities into political objects. Based on this vantage point, the work makes sense of the postcolonial Muslim political discourse.
