Описание: The book focusses on the institutional and non-institutional histories of madness in colonial north India. It proves that `madness` and its `cure` are shifting categories which assumed new meanings and significance as knowledge travelled across cultural, medical, national, and regional boundaries.
Описание: This book explores the ways in which Ayurveda, the oldest medical tradition of the Indian subcontinent, was transformed from a composite of `ancient` medical knowledge into a `modern` medical system, suited to the demands posed by apparatuses of health developed in late colonial India.
Описание: Linking four continents over three centuries, Selling Empire demonstrates the centrality of India - both as an idea and a place - to the making of a global British imperial system. In the seventeenth century, Britain was economically, politically, and militarily weaker than India, but Britons increasingly made use of India's strengths to build their own empire in both America and Asia. Early English colonial promoters first envisioned America as a potential India, hoping that the nascent Atlantic colonies could produce Asian raw materials. When this vision failed to materialize, Britain's circulation of Indian manufactured goods - from umbrellas to cottons - to Africa, Europe, and America then established an empire of goods and the supposed good of empire. Eacott recasts the British empire's chronology and geography by situating the development of consumer culture, the American Revolution, and British industrialization in the commercial intersections linking the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. From the seventeenth into the nineteenth century and beyond, the evolving networks, ideas, and fashions that bound India, Britain, and America shaped persisting global structures of economic and cultural interdependence.

Описание: First published in 1930, the author asserts that this book presents a human India ‘in all sorts of conditions and moods’. It details her first-hand experiences as a female missionary in India over the course of thirty-three years in India along with some further accounts related by eyewitnesses. It avoids proposing theories of giving abstract general pronouncements but instead focuses on the individual people with the intention that it would promote greater understanding of the nation by westerners. This book will be of interest to students of Indian, colonial and women’s history.

Описание: Muhammad Iqbal and Muhammad Ali Jinnah developed their crucial political ideas in the 1930s. They used India to test out how law could be used to settle political conflicts, how theological concepts could be politicized, and how to speak to an increasingly hostile All India National Congress. This book maps this development.
