Revolutionary Lives in South Asia (eBook, ePUB)

Acts and Afterlives of Anticolonial Political Action
Redaktion: Maclean, Kama; Elam, J. David

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Prompted by the prevalence of 'the revolutionary' in Indian political, historical and literary worlds, Revolutionary Lives explores the radical and cosmopolitan nature of anticolonialism in early twentieth century India through a biographical lens. The volume draws together ten eminent researchers from India, Europe, Australia and the US to analyse the lives of anticolonial activists, both unknown and infamous, to ask: how should we read claims to 'the revolutionary' in both contemporary and historical contexts?

This book was published as a special issue of Postcolonial Studies.
