Partha Chatterjee

The Nation and Its Fragments

Colonial and Postcolonial Histories

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Looks at the results of nationalist imagination in Asia and Africa that are posited not on identity but on difference with the nationalism propagated by the West. This title shows how anticolonialist nationalists produced their own domain of sovereignty within colonial society well before beginning their political battle with the imperial power.
