ISBN: 9780195166101 / Angielski / Twarda / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A provocative account of the development of modern national culture in India using classical music as a case study.

This book lays bare how a nation's imaginings--from politics to culture--reflect rather than transform societal divisions.

While the Russian administration was characterised by corruption and inefficiency, British rule in India was much more violent, and its subjects...
