Muslim Political Discourse in Postcolonial India (eBook, ePUB)

Monuments, Memory, Contestation

• Format: ePub

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.
