{"product_id":"knowledge-mediation-and-empire-florence-dsouza-9781526148070","title":"Knowledge, Mediation and Empire: James Tod's Journeys Among the Rajputs","description":"This study of the British colonial administrator James Tod (1782-1835), who spent five years in north-western India (1818-22) collecting every conceivable type of material of historical or cultural interest on the Rajputs and the Gujaratis, gives special attention to his role as a mediator of knowledge about this little-known region of the British Empire in the early nineteenth century to British and European audiences. The book aims to illustrate that British officers did not spend all their time oppressing and inferiorising the indigenous peoples under their colonial authority, but also contributed to propagating cultural and scientific information about them, and that they did not react only negatively to the various types of human difference they encountered in the field.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Florence D'Souza\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526148072\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526148070\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.58d","brand":"Florence D'Souza","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44790366535935,"sku":"9781526148070","price":30.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c8fa618b-ef7f-4077-bb3c-c21a1a2bc64a.jpg?v=1707288729","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/knowledge-mediation-and-empire-florence-dsouza-9781526148070","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
