The papers in the volume are written by both senior and early career scholars in the field\, and many of these were presented at the SOAS history conference ‘Ideologies and Institutions: a conference to celebrate the career and works of Peter Robb’\, in September 2013. Drawing broadly from Robb’s lecture transcript on memorials included in the book\, the volume also engages with some of his other works. \n  \nThe publication of this collection of essays in the year of the SOAS centenary\, in late 2017\, coincided with the 70th year of India and Pakistan’s commemoration of independence and the Partition of 1947\, prompting a renewed interest in examining the legacy of the British Raj. Memory studies have proliferated in recent years based on an emotional understanding of the past\, but with a few exceptions\, they have predominantly focused on Partition and its aftermath in South Asia. The editors deviate from this frame to explore the memory of colonialism and imperialism by critically engaging with the ideas of encounters and emerging identities. \n  \nBy focusing on interactions\, relations and underlying meanings of the colonial experience\, the volume re-evaluates central\, long-standing debates about the historical impact of the Raj. The issues of memory\, identity and the legacy of the colonial encounter are woven together in a diverse range of essays on subjects such as colonial and nationalist memorials; British\, Eurasian\, Dalit and Adivasi identities; regional political configurations; and state initiatives and patterns of control. \nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/book-launch-and-discussion-memory-identity-and-the-colonial-encounter-in-india-essays-in-honour-of-tickets-43970130845 \nPublisher: Routledge   \nhttps://www.routledge.com/Memory-Identity-and-the-Colonial-Encounter-in-India-Essays-in-Honour/Rashkow-Ghosh-Chakrabarti/p/book/9781138237056 \nISBN:  9781138237056\nNumber of pages: 338 \n
