The Changing Role of Women in Bengal, 1849-1905
Author: Meredith Borthwick
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 1400843901
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 422
Book Description
Basing her work on Bengali-language sources, such as women's journals, private papers, biographies, and autobiographies, Meredith Borthwick approaches the lives of women in nineteenth-century Bengal from a new standpoint. She moves beyond the record of the heated debates held by men of this period—over matters such as widow burning, child marriage, and female education—to explore the effects of changes in society on the lives of women and to question assumptions about "advances" prompted by British rule. Focusing on the wives, mothers, and daughters of the English-educated Bengali professional class, Dr. Borthwick contends that many reforms merely substituted a restrictive British definition of womanhood for traditional Hindu norms. The positive gains for women—increased physical freedom, the acquisition of literacy, and limited entry to nondomestic work—often brought unforeseen negative consequences, such as a reduction in autonomy and power in the household. Originally published in 1984. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Some Aspects of Labour History of Bengal in the Nineteenth Century
Author: Dipesh Chakrabarty
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199095639
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 110
Book Description
Dipesh Chakrabarty and Ranajit Das Gupta’s Some Aspects of the Labour History of Bengal in the Nineteenth Century presents a sharply posed conversation between them in October 1981 on working-class consciousness in Bengal. The arguments posited here show that rather than being a direct, mechanical outcome of the capitalistic mode of production, working class consciousness is a process. Asking questions about the morality of labour, history of peasant revolts, capitalist intervention, and so on, this is a classic work on labour history.

Notions of Nationhood in Bengal: Perspectives on Samaj, c. 1867-1905
Author: Swarupa Gupta
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9047429583
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 424
Book Description
This book reopens the debate on colonial nationalisms, going beyond ‘derivative’, ‘borrowed’, political and modernist paradigms. It introduces the conceptual category of samaj to demonstrate how indigenous socio-cultural origins in Bengal interacted with late-colonial discourses to produce the notion of a nation. Samaj (a historical society and an idea-in-practice) was a site for reconfiguring antecedents and negotiating fragmentation. Drawing on indigenous sources, this study shows how caste, class, ethnicity, region and community were refracted to conceptualise wider unities. The mapping of cultural continuities through change facilitates a more nuanced investigation of the ontology of nationhood, seeing it as related to, but more than political nationalism. It outlines a fresh paradigm for recalibrating postcolonial identities, offering interpretive strategies to mediate fragmentation.
