Böcker av Durba (Cornell University Ghosh

A major new study of the critical place of revolutionary terrorism in the colonial and postcolonial history of modern India. Durba Ghosh charts how the application of the rule of law was abrogated, reshaped, and transformed as the British faced challenges posed by a wave of violent terrorist campaigns.

An original contribution to scholarship on colonialism, gender and sexuality in India. By following the stories of a number of mixed-race families, at all levels of the social scale, Durba Ghosh offers a fascinating account of how gender, class and race affected the cultural and social mores of the period.
