William Hoey (1849-1919) was a magistrate in Lucknow, India when this book was published by the American Missionary Press in 1880. At the time, Lucknow was the seventh largest city in the British Empire, and it was the capital of the province that had most recently come under British rule. Hoey's monograph captures the details of trade in the city and surrounding regions at this time of change. Part 1 outlines the prominent features of trade in the area and includes tables of imports and exports. Part 2 focuses on Lucknow specifically, and contains the author's discussion of the impact of British rule on the city. The third part is a detailed A-Z of every trade, including information on production, prices and profit, and the work concludes with an extensive glossary of Indian terms. The level of detail in this work makes it an invaluable historical document.

"Intimate Geopolitics is a story about territory. The stories of love and marriage that play out in the book are caught up in and revealing of global processes, which define "insiders" and "outsiders" in relation to borders and national identity, through the regulation of marriage, intimacy, love, and children. In Ladakh, a culturally Tibetan region in India's Jammu and Kashmir state, 11,000 feet above sea level, and only a few hundred miles from the disputed Pakistan border, inter-religious marriages are informally banned today--bodies are understood as part of a struggle to manage future voting blocs, and thus, territory itself. Using the threat of Muslim population growth, Ladakhi Buddhist activists are encouraging Buddhist women to give up family planning and have as many children as possible, to guarantee a demographic future for Buddhists. Religious identity has been bound to a struggle to control the region through management of its demography one body at a time. When religion, population, and voting blocs are implicitly tied to territorial sovereignty, marriage across religious boundaries becomes a geopolitical problem. Smith argues that time--temporality--should be worked into our understanding of both marriage and territory to show that territory is alive and embodied, and that by attending to the life of territory and its temporal dimension, we gain a much richer and complex understanding of what it means to claim space, both for the present and the future. Demography is anything but abstract--it is the decisions and experiences that are most intimate: birth, marriage, movement across borders, and death. These sites are where geopolitical strategy is animated and made material"--

From approximately the third century BCE through the thirteenth century CE, the remote mountainous landscape around the glacial sources of the Ganga (Ganges) River in the Central Himalayas in northern India was transformed into a region encoded with deep meaning, one approached by millions of Hindus as a primary locus of pilgrimage.Nachiket Chanchani’s innovative study explores scores of stone edifices and steles that were erected in this landscape. Through their forms, locations, interactions with the natural environment, and sociopolitical context, these lithic ensembles evoked legendary worlds, embedded historical memories in the topography, changed the mountain range’s appearance, and shifted its semiotic effect. Mountain Temples and Temple Mountains also alters our understanding of the transmission of architectural knowledge and provides new evidence of how an enduring idea of India emerged in the subcontinent.Art History Publication Initiative.

"Examining materials from early modern and contemporary North India and Pakistan, Tellings and Texts brings together seventeen first-rate papers on the relations between written and oral texts, their performance, and the musical traditions these performances have entailed. The contributions from some of the best scholars in the field cover a wide range of literary genres and social and cultural contexts across the region. The texts and practices are contextualized in relation to the broader social and political background in which they emerged, showing how religious affiliations, caste dynamics and political concerns played a role in shaping social identities as well as aesthetic sensibilities. By doing so this book sheds light into theoretical issues of more general significance, such as textual versus oral norms; the features of oral performance and improvisation; the role of the text in performance; the aesthetics and social dimension of performance; the significance of space in performance history and important considerations on repertoires of story-telling. The book also contains links to audio files of some of the works discussed in the text. Tellings and Texts is essential reading for anyone with an interest in South Asian culture and, more generally, in the theory and practice of oral literature, performance and story-telling."--Publisher's website.
