{"product_id":"different-nationalisms-semanti-ghosh-9780199468232","title":"Different Nationalisms: Bengal, 1905--1947","description":"The period between the partition of Bengal in 1905 and the Partition of India in 1947 was witness to a unique experience of 'imagining' nations in Bengal. With neither the Bengali Muslims nor the Bengali Hindus envisioning homogenous ideas about nationhood, many contesting and alternative visions emerged, both within and between the two communities. These 'other' nationalisms were not 'anti-national', but creeds of either a 'federal Indian nation' with 'regional autonomy', or a 'regional nation' on its own strength.\u003cbr\u003e L\u003cem\u003en Different Nationalisms\u003c\/em\u003e, Semanti Ghosh goes beyond the Muslim-Hindu and nationalism-communalism binaries to reveal an unfamiliar terrain of hidden contestations over the concept of nation in colonial Bengal. For several of these competing ideologies, Partition, rather than being an expected or even desired outcome, was an anti-climax in their long-drawn battle for a nation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Semanti Ghosh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199468230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199468232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 440\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.80w x 1.10d","brand":"Semanti Ghosh","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48742211584255,"sku":"9780199468232","price":56.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/different-nationalisms-semanti-ghosh-9780199468232","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
