This book explores the relationships between the political power of the British imperial state, the construction of historical memories in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and the uses of these constructions by European writers and Indian nationalist elites. The case of the Rajputs demonstrates how imperial histories reflected Indian social processes and pre-colonial forms of knowledge, interpreted India for the world outside and for Indians themselves. This book explores the multiple discourses within Tod's Rajasthan, and European Orientalism, to show how intricately coded the British Empire was and, historically, remains.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jason Freitag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004175946\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004175945\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/31\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 227\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.20w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2009 pg. 57","brand":"Jason Freitag","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47520655737087,"sku":"9789004175945","price":176.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_02ba0a6c-683f-4675-af13-510dcc3322b6.jpg?v=1762886374","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/serving-empire-serving-nation-jason-freitag-9789004175945","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
