Political Imaginaries in Twentieth-Century India de Mrinalini Sinha

Political Imaginaries in Twentieth-Century India: Critical Perspectives in South Asian History

Editat de Mrinalini Sinha, Manu Goswami
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 iul 2023
This volume reconsiders India's 20th century though a specific focus on the concepts, conjunctures and currency of its distinct political imaginaries. Spanning the divide between independence and partition, it highlights recent historical debates that have sought to move away from a nation-centred mode of political history to a broader history of politics that considers the complex contexts within which different political imaginaries emerged in 20th century India. Representing the first attempt to grasp the shifting modes and meanings of the 'political' in India, this book explores forms of mass protest, radical women's politics, civil rights, democracy, national wealth and mobilization against the indentured-labor system, amongst other themes. In linking 'the political' to shifts in historical temporality, Political Imaginaries in 20th century India extends beyond the interdisciplinary arena of South Asian studies to cognate late colonial and post-colonial formations in the twentieth century and contribute to the 'political turn' in scholarship.

Recenzii

This is an exciting and wide-ranging collection of scholarship on Indian politics that explores fresh territory in the twentieth century and opens up new possibilities for understanding this transformational era in India and the world.
An outstanding collection of essays that powerfully illuminates the multiple and shifting meanings of the political through an imaginative, rigorous and inter-disciplinary exploration of the idea of the political imaginary in 20th century India.
An urgent and necessary project, this volume defines and rethinks 'the political.' Comprised of essays by some of the smartest theorists, historians, and scholars of India, it elaborates how we might imagine new political futures and imaginaries that offer radical and revolutionary possibilities.
Empirically rich and theoretically sophisticated, this timely volume retells the history of the 20th century by placing decolonization at its centre. Speaking of/from India, it offers a globally salient rethinking of democracy, economy, citizenship, statistics, political symbols and radical dissent. A must read for historians, political philosophers, anthropologists and theorists of the contemporary.
This represents the cutting edge of scholarship on political life modern India. Guided by the strong editorial vision of Manu Goswami and Mrinalini Sinha, this stellar, diverse collection of authors bridges regions, languages, and archives to illuminate the breadth of political imaginaries that have shaped modern India, with reverberations across the Global South. This a vital book, which will appeal widely across fields and disciplines
