Opis

In "Rebels, Wives, Saints", Tanika Sarkar continues her revolutionary scholarship on women, religion, and nationhood in colonial Bengal. The colonial universe Sarkar describes in "Rebels, Wives, Saints" centers around symbols of women as both defiled and deified, exemplified in the idea of woman as widow and woman as goddess. The nation, Sarkar explains, is imagined as a woman-goddess within a country comprising plural cultural traditions. Sarkar also broadens the discussion to consider male reformers who battle Hindu conservatives, a Hindu novelist who idealizes nationalism as a means for overcoming Muslim influence, male-dominant social norms, and theater and censorship. Throughout the book, Sarkar deploys her trademark focus on small, specific, defining emotional moments in order to arrive at a larger, compelling picture that reveals how people actually feel and experience life in Bengal.
