'This well-researched book charts the changing commemorative landscape of the 1857 Indian Uprising from post-Mutiny reconciliation efforts to the rise of identity politics in post-colonial India. The result is a fascinating exploration of the intersections between history, memory, and culture.' Jill C. Bender, University of North Carolina at Greensboro 'As much as it was a crucial historical event, the so-called 'Mutiny' of 1857 was a defining narrative and key motif of commemoration in the British imperial imagination. Pender skilfully writes the history of the Raj through the management of both memory and memorial sites, revealing the true significance of the rallying cry 'Remember Cawnpore!' Kim Wagner, Queen Mary, University of London
