Описание: The family was at the center of intense debates about identity, community, and nation in colonial Tamil Nadu, India. Emerging ideas about love, marriage, and desire were linked to caste politics, the colonial economy, and nationalist agitation. In the first detailed historical study of Tamil families in colonial India, Wives, Widows, and Concubines maps changes in the late colonial family in relation to the region's culture, politics, and economy. Among professional and mercantile elites, the conjugal relationship displaced the extended family as the focal point of household dynamics.

Описание: This book, first published in 1956, contains tales of magicians and immortals; of generals and eunuchs; of emperors and poets; of palaces and concubines. The study of stories from deep in a country`s past can tell a reader much about the present-day culture of a society; this is surely true here.
