Omschrijving

Focuses on women, religion, and nationhood in colonial Bengal. This work describes a colonial universe that centers around symbols of women as both defiled and deified, exemplified in the idea of woman as widow and woman as goddess. The nation, it explains, is imagined as a woman-goddess within a country comprising plural cultural traditions.
