{"product_id":"ironies-of-colonial-governance-james-jaffe-9781107087927","title":"Ironies of Colonial Governance","description":"The Indian village council, or panchayat, has long held an iconic place in India. Ironies of Colonial Governance traces the history of that ideal and the attempts to adapt it to colonial governance. Beginning with an in-depth analysis of British attempts to introduce a system of panchayat governance during the early nineteenth century, it analyses the legacies of these actions within the structures of later colonial administrations as well as the early nationalist movement. Particular attention is paid to the ways in which the ideologies of panchayat governance evolved during this period and to the transnational exchange and circulation of panchayat ideologies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Jaffe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107087929\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107087927\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/21\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"James Jaffe","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47419429781759,"sku":"9781107087927","price":138.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6df1871e-d533-4801-a804-4ca474296446.jpg?v=1761511448","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ironies-of-colonial-governance-james-jaffe-9781107087927","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
