More about the book

Focusing on key crisis moments in British colonial rule, this interdisciplinary study examines the interplay between terrorism, insurgency, and colonial literature in India. It explores events such as the 'Black Hole' of Calcutta, the 1857 Rebellion, and the Amritsar massacre of 1919, highlighting how the threat of violence shaped the dynamics between colonizers and the colonized. Through this lens, the author re-envisions the political aesthetics of empire, offering insights into the complex relationships forged through terror and resistance.
