Produktbeschreibung

South Asia is famous for its monuments, past and present. Mouments have created, destroyed and resued by competing communities and incoming empires in the making of history, identity and memory. This collection interrogages the legacies and afterlives of the vast diversity of monuments (and conceptions of monuments) in South Asia from the 1850s to the present. This book was published as a special issue of South Asian Studies.
