Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In this groundbreaking interdisciplinary study of terrorism, insurgency and the literature of colonial India, Alex Tickell reenvisages the political aesthetics of empire. Organized around key crisis moments in the history of British colonial rule such as the Black Hole of Calcutta, the antithug campaigns of the 1830s, the 1857 Rebellion, anticolonial terrorism in Edwardian London and the Amritsar massacre in 1919, this timely book reveals how the terrorizing threat of violence mutually defined discursive relations between colonizer and colonized.Based on original research and drawing on theoretical work on sovereignty and the exception, this book examines IndianEnglish literary traditions in transaction and covers fiction and journalism by both colonial and Indian authors. It includes critical readings of several significant early Indian works for the first time: from neglected fictions such as Kylas Chunder Dutts story of anticolonial rebellion A Journal of FortyEight Hours of the Year 1945 (1835) and Sarath Kumar Ghoshs nationalist epic The Prince of Destiny (1909) to dissident periodicals like Hurrish Chunder Mookerjis Hindoo Patriot (185666) and Shyamaji Krishnavarmas Indian Sociologist (190514). These are read alongside canonical works by metropolitan and AngloIndian authors such as Philip Meadows Taylors Confessions of a Thug (1839), Rudyard Kiplings short fictions, and novels by Edmund Candler and E. M. Forster. Reflecting on the wider crosscultural politics of terror during the Indian independence struggle, Tickell also reappraises sacrificial violence in Indian revolutionary nationalism and locates Gandhis philosophy of ahimsa or nonviolence as an inspired tactical response to the terroreffects of colonial rule.
