Globalization, History, Historiography: The Making of a Modern Indian Theatre


Overview

'Globalization, History, Historiography: The Making of a Modern Indian Theatre' analyzes the cultural impact of globalization's economic, historical, and political processes on the making of the modern Indian theatre. In so doing, the book wrestles with such matters as imperialism and Orientalism, colonial knowledge and historiography, metropolitan elite and regional folk/popular cultures, Hindu and Islamic fundamentalisms, transnational flows of ideologies of liberal democracy and modernity, historiographies of nation formation, and nationalist and nativist movements.
