India in Britain: South Asian Networks and Connections, 1858-1950

Autor Susheila Nasta
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2013
Moving away from orthodox narratives of the Raj and British presence in India, this book examines the significance of the networks and connections that South Asians established on British soil. Looking at the period 1858-1950, it presents readings of cultural history and points to the urgent need to open up the parameters of this field of study.
