{"product_id":"india-and-the-british-empire","title":"India and the British Empire","description":"\u003cp\u003eSouth Asian History has enjoyed a remarkable renaissance over the past thirty years. Its historians are not only producing new ways of thinking about the imperial impact and legacy on South Asia, but also helping to reshape the study of imperial history in general. The essays in this collection address a number of these important developments, delineating not only the complicated interplay between imperial rulers and their subjects in India,\n\u003cbr\u003ebut also illuminating the economic, political, environmental, social, cultural, ideological, and intellectual contexts which informed, and were in turn informed by, these interactions. Particular\n\u003cbr\u003eattention is paid to a cluster of binary oppositions that have hitherto framed South Asian history, namely colonizer\/colonized, imperialism\/nationalism,  and modernity\/tradition, and how new analytical frameworks are emerging which enable us to think beyond the constraints imposed by these binaries. Closer attention to regional dynamics as well as to wider global forces has enriched our understanding of the history of South Asia within a wider imperial matrix. Previous impressions of\n\u003cbr\u003eall-powerful imperialism, with the capacity to reshape all before it, for good or ill, are rejected in favour of a much more nuanced image of imperialism in India that acknowledges the impact as well as the\n\u003cbr\u003eintentions of colonialism, but within a much more complicated historical landscape where other processes are at work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44156278735086,"sku":"9780199259885","price":152.74,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780199259885.jpg?v=1706226350","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/india-and-the-british-empire","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
