The Calling of History: Sir Jadunath Sarkar and His Empire of Truth
ISBN: 9780226100456 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A leading scholar in early twentieth-century India, Sir Jadunath Sarkar (1870 1958) was knighted in 1929 and became the first Indian historian to gain honorary membership in the American Historical Association. By the end of his lifetime, however, he had been marginalized by the Indian history establishment, as postcolonial historians embraced alternative approaches in the name of democracy and anti-colonialism. "The Calling of History" examines Sarkar s career and poignant obsolescence as a way into larger questions about the discipline of history and its public life.
