作者簡介

商品簡介

This book aims at re-examining the issue of 'everyday resistance' through the lens of women's experiences in colonial South Asia. The overwhelming image of Indian women during the period is one of passivity, with the exception of some outstanding figures. The attempt in the present volume is to unearth a narrative of deeper and more enduring resistance offered by less extraordinary women in their daily lives. In a breathtaking collection of essays, key scholars in the field bring together evidence from a range of unconventional sources such as women's songs, photographs, and embroidery, but equally from legal records, memoirs, and published work, to present women in far more assertive and/or subversive roles.

作者簡介

ANINDITA GHOSH is Lecturer in Modern History at the University of Manchester. Her published work in the form of journal articles and contribution to edited volumes so far, focuses on the commercial vernacular book market in Bengal, and the social history of print in colonial India. Her monograph based on these themes is, Power in Print: Popular publishing and the Politics of Language and Culture in a Colonial Society, 1778-1905. Her present paper and the idea of the conference itself stem from a long-term interest in everyday resistance in the life of women, a topic that features partially in her monograph.
