Communal Geographies
This book builds on the latest research on India’s partition and the politics of communal identity and explores the intricate relationship between community and religion on the one hand, and space or geography on the other. Reconsidering the role of space from the quotidian neighbourhood through to the urban, regional, national and international, the chapters in this volume examine how religious community identities have been mapped onto particular spaces, and transformed through the interaction of spatial levels scales. Gurdwaras, mosques, temples, homes, shops, mohallas and the administrative border making of states at urban, regional and national levels have all been implicated in this complex history of mapping and making religious communities. Exploring this rich history through a range of detailed case studies that straddle partition in 1947, the book draws from a number of methods and sources, including archival work, visual analysis, oral history and ethnography. The chapters in this book were originally published in South Asia: The Journal of South Asian Studies and are accompanied by a new updated Introduction.
World of Sport
World of Sport examines the development of modern sport from the mid-nineteenth century to the 1960s in the light of transnational approaches to history. Critically probing existing studies and offering new insights, this volume demonstrates that while sport was a national and international phenomenon, it was invariably constructed transnationally. Taking in topics ranging from the dissemination of football codes to transpacific surfing cultures, and the touring lives of baseball and hockey players to the contact zones of international competition, it emphasises the importance of transnational perspectives in the way people around the globe experience sport. Like other forms of popular culture, sport cannot be properly understood without reference to the cross-national connections that helped to disseminate rules and regulations, circulated styles of play and performance, and drove forward regional and international competition. Drawing on case studies that range time periods and continents, World of Sport is a must-read for students and researchers interested in the place of sport in the interconnected modern world and the transnational origins of the global sporting order in the twenty-first century.
