Re-visioning the past

"This book, based on photographs taken in Bengal during the period 1875-1915, aims to introduce a new dimension to the experience of colonialism and reconstructs a history of growing urban Bengali middle-class society. Using rare archival photographs, Re-visioning the Past shows how the entry of the photograph into the domestic sphere coincided with significant familial and spatio-temporal change - and indeed served as a metaphor for the same." "Apart from being of interest to a general public, Re-visioning the Past is a significant contribution to cultural, postcolonial and gender studies, and will appeal to anthropologists, sociologists, social and cultural historians, and those interested in the visual arts."--Jacket.
