The Maratha Period of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries when an independent Maratha state successfully resisted the Mughals is a defining era in Indian history. Prachi Deshpande examines the invocation of this period in various political projects including anticolonial Hindu nationalism and the Non Brahman Movement as well as popular debates throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries over the meanings of traditions culture colonialism and modernity. Deploying a rich body of literary and cultural sources Deshpande highlights shifts in history writing in early modern Western India as well as the deep connections between historical and literary narratives. She also shows how historical memory provided a space for Indians to negotiate among their natural religious and regional identities pointing out history's pervasive potential for shaping politics within thoroughly diverse societies. A study of quite extraordinary penetration and breadth Creative Pasts mines Maratha history and Marathi sources as never before to analyse historiography popular memory and the socio literary impact of colonialism on regional societies and cultures. Expanding from this base the book succeeds also in showing how many significant patterns of modernity in India are produced by the interplay of cultural activities power structures and political rhetoric. 308 pp. N° de réf. du vendeur 65920
