DOC Latinos and Education: A Critical Reader by From Routledge in History

Description

Drawing on the newest and most sophisticated historical research and scholarship in the field; Modern South Asia provides a challenging insight for those with an intellectual curiosity about the region. After sketching the pre-modern history of the subcontinent; the book concentrates on the last three centuries. Jointly authored by two leading Indian and Pakistani historians; it offers a rare depth of historical understanding of the politics; cultures; and economies that shape the lives of more than a fifth of humanity. In this comprehensive study; the authors interpret and debate the striking developments in contemporary South Asian history and historical writing; covering the entire spectrum of the region’s modern history – social; economic and political. The book provides new insights into the structure and ideology of the British raj; the meaning of subaltern resistance; the refashioning of social relations along the lines of caste; class; community and gender; the different strands of anti-colonial nationalism and the dynamics of decolonization. This third edition brings the debate up to the present day; taking account of recent historical research and covering the closer integration of South Asia with the global economy; the impact of developments in Afghanistan on the region as a whole; and the fresh challenges to South Asia’s nation-states.
