Recenzii

"In this imaginative and empirically rich study, Abigail McGowan demonstrates convincingly that the Indian crafts became a critical ground on which both colonial and nationalist projects of power were constructed during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This book is a pioneering effort in establishing the relationship between colonial knowledge, state interventions into the economy, and visual/material cultures." - Douglas Haynes, Associate Professor of History, Dartmouth University
