Book Description
The white women of colonial India wrote extensively during their years of residence in India. This anthology brings together a fascinating collection of such European women's narratives. Mapped along the historical shifts that took place over the hundred-year period, the book captures the many facets and nuances of gender relations across racial divide. Imaginatively organised around key sites of contact, the narratives are arranged in fourteen thematic clusters. This book will appeal to readers interested in gender and colonialism and the writings of the Raj.
