Politics of Patronage and Protest: The State, Society, and Artisans in Early Modern RajasthanOxford University Press, 2006 - 276 من الصفحات "Studies on state-formation in India rarely focus on the agency of subordinate groups. Questioning the dominant narratives on state - subordinate interactions, Sahai provides a unique account of state-formation in early modern Rajasthan. She also engages with larger debates on state-formation and popular protest in early modern India by demonstrating the role of a subaltern group." "Politics of Patronage and Protest explores the process of state-formation 'from below' through the prism of artisanal experience. Focusing on the multidimensional interface of the Jodhpur state with resident artisans, the author highlights the political culture of the period."--BOOK JACKET. |
