Three Ways to Be Alien: Travails & Encounters in the Early Modern World
ISBN: 9781584659921 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Sanjay Subrahmanyam's Three Ways to Be Alien draws on the lives and writings of a trio of marginal and liminal figures cast adrift from their traditional moorings into an unknown world. The subjects include the aggrieved and lost Meale, a "Persian" prince of Bijapur (in central India, no less) held hostage by the Portuguese at Goa; English traveler and global schemer Anthony Sherley, whose writings reveal a surprisingly nimble understanding of realpolitik in the emerging world of the early seventeenth century; and Nicolo Manuzzi, an insightful Venetian chronicler of the Mughal Empire in the...

ISBN: 9780521892261 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 412 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In The Political Economy of Commerce: Southern India 1500 1650 Sanjay Subrahmanyam explores the relationship between long-distance trade and the economic and political structure of southern India in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. He questions the more traditional views that external demand was the force behind pre-colonial Indian economic growth or that external trade was insignificant in quantitative and qualitative terms compared with the vastness of the internal economy. Instead, Dr Subrahmanyam authoritatively demonstrates the interaction between south Indian developments...

Connected History: Essays and Arguments
ISBN: 9781839762383 / Angielski / Miękka / 2022 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Sanjay Subrahmanyam is becoming well known for the same sort of reasons that attach to Fernand Braudel and Carlo Ginzburg, as the proponent of a new kind of history - in his case, not longue duree or micro-history, but 'connected history': connected cross-culturally, and spanning regions, subjects and archives that are conventionally treated alone. Not a research paradigm, he insists, it is more of an oppositionswissenschaft, a way of trying to constantly break the moulds of historical objects. The essays collected here, some quite polemical - as in the lead text on the notion of...

The Career and Legend of Vasco da Gama
ISBN: 9780521646291 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 428 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Vasco da Gama (?1469 1524) is well known as one of a generation of discoverers, along with Magellan, Cabral, and Columbus. Yet little is known about his life, or about the context within which he 'discovered' the all-sea route to India in 1497 99. This book, based on a mass of published and unpublished sources in Portuguese and other languages, delineates Gama's career and social context, focusing on the delicate balance between 'career' and 'legend'. The book addresses broad questions of myth-building and nationalism, while never losing sight of Gama himself."

Society and Circulation : Mobile People and Itinerant Cultures in South Asia, 1750-1950
ISBN: 9781843312314 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 380 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The idea of an 'eternal India', based on stable and unchanging villages, has been in disarray for at least two decades. However, having demolished this myth, historians have been rather less able to construct an alternative vision. This volume sets out to do just that, using the idea of 'circulation' in relation to South Asia in the colonial period. It comprises a set of complementary essays which deal with merchant circulation, pilgrimages, cartography, policing, labour mobility and the movement of itinerant groups from colonial administrators to wandering bards, demonstrating that the...
