She takes as her subject the representation of Woman in selected non-fiction and fiction texts of Anglo-Indian and ’metropolitan’ (that is, British) writers. Although Dr Sen occasionally alludes to a distinction between literary representations and the ’historical real’ in her discussions of texts, she proceeds from the premise that both ‘literary’ and ’non-fictional’ writings constitute ’constructions [sic] of an imagined reality’ (p. xiii). She acknowledges the ’generic distinctiveness’ of the literary and non-literary texts that form the raw material of her study, while treating them as grist for the mill in the process of decoding ’colonial discursive practice’, the latter being understood as a ’means of exercising power and control’ and ’participating [sic] in the formation of ideologies’ (pp. xii-xiii). In the final analysis, Sen does speak to the ’historical real’ of the Raj-namely the attitudes and assumptions of Anglo-Indian writers, and presumably of their readers, about gender, race and social hierarchy. She refers to relevant recent work in gender history and literary studies-for instance, Jenny Sharpe’s Allegories of Empire and Nancy Paxton’s Writing Under the Raj-while clearly setting out her own judgements about particular texts as well as about","PeriodicalId":45806,"journal":{"name":"Indian Economic and Social History Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2004-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/001946460404100307","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64786297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The trial lasted in the Sessions Courts of the English East India Company for about a month, generating strong emotions among the parties involved, until it petered out with the English Company officials deferring to traditional notions and prescriptions of penitence, punishment and customaty sanction, and with Tarwadi being acquitted of the murder charge. The trial in many ways represented a critical episode in the Anglo-Bania chapter of Surat's history and brought into sharp focus the interactive processes of British- Indian relationships in the period of transition and its implications for both the constitution of merchant identities in western India as well as the self-perception of the English Company, and the profile and presence it wanted to maintain in the region. The present article is an attempt to draw out the ramifications of the Anglo-Bania partnership in Surat as it entered its final stage, and to focus on its changing nature under the aegis of a legal system that was not quite in place at the beginning of the nineteenth century. By focusing on the Surat trial of 1800, a dramatic site where notions of justice confronted issues of caste prerogative and the more mundane considerations of material advantage, my article teases out the com plexities of negotiation between Indian merchants and the English East India Company during a period of transition.","PeriodicalId":45806,"journal":{"name":"Indian Economic and Social History Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2004-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/001946460404100302","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64786125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Like his previous volume of essays, Writing Social History ( 1999), Beyond Nationalist Frames suggests that Sarkar is very troubled by postmodernism, the ’Saidian turn’ in colonial and post-colonial studies, the various follies of Subaltern Studies (though he too was once a Subaltern recruit), and the rise of Hindutva. Of course, no one writes outside his or her worldly context, as Edward Said argued so insistently and compellingly, but so great is Sarkar’s worry with contemporary political and intellectual trends that it dominates his writings. Beyond Nationalist Frames contains essays that are united, according to the author, by a concern with ’the vicissitudes of our times, at once political and academic’ (p. 1). These include the advance of Hindutva, globalised capitalism, the post-Marxist and postmodernist moods, and the shift from social history to cultural studies. Together, these have imposed a colonial/anti-colonial binary, valorised concepts of indigenism and cultural authenticity, and led to facile critiques of Western discourses as mere instruments of alien hegemony. Writing against these surely indefensible ideas, Sarkar presents himself as an historian with an ’unfashionable","PeriodicalId":45806,"journal":{"name":"Indian Economic and Social History Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2004-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/001946460404100305","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64786248","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
