  • Revolutionary Lives in South Asia

    Acts and Afterlives of Anticolonial Political Action

    Edición de Kama Maclean, J. Daniel Elam ...
    The term ‘revolutionary’ is used liberally in histories of Indian anticolonialism, but scarcely defined. Implicitly understood, it functions as a signpost or a badge, generously conferred in hagiographies, loosely invoked in historiography, and strategically deployed in contemporary political contests.
