The Black Hole: or The Makings of a Legend: Routledge Revivals
Autor Iris Macfarlaneen Limba Engleză Hardback – noi 2024
The author aims to fill the gap between the classic studies of Indian history and the imaginary history of the novelists. She writes with a great awareness of the injustice done to two-thirds of the world by colonisers who, first with guns, then with bibles and grammars, imposed on the native people that sense of inferiority on which colonialism feeds and thrives. Then, she says, they used incidents like the Black Hole, distorted and exaggerated, to justify their actions.
In this book, the story of the colonisation of India is told from the arrival of the first merchants until the incidents of the Black Hole, to show how India was reduced to subjection. The Black Hole itself is investigated in great depth to extract the facts that can be proved and to set them up beside the legend.

Descriere
Who went into the Black Hole of Calcutta? Who came out alive? And does it matter anyway? In The Black Hole (originally published in 1975), Iris Macfarlane tries to answer these questions. She aims to fill the gap between the classic studies of Indian history and the imaginary history of the novelists.
