解説
These nine lucidly written essays, grouped in two parts, futher the frontiers of understanding between history and anthropology. The first part, 'Myth, History and Ethnicity', focuses on passions of ethnic and national identity as these impinge on how the past is imagined. The secont part, 'Caste, Kingship and Colonialism', is a set of essays which try to understand the caste order, its linkages with kingship, and the manner in which colonial domination defined and redefined this relationship.
