商品描述
Mapping Partition delivers the first in-depth geographical account of the partition of India and Pakistan in 1947.
- Explores the impact of colonial geography and geographers on the boundary, both during the partition process and in the period preceding it
- Draws on extensive archival research and is an insightful treatment of the colonial partition of India and Pakistan
- Argues that colonial geography underpinned the partition process in heretofore unacknowledged ways
- Discusses the consequences of placing different ethnic, communal, and linguistic groups onto the colonial map and the growing importance of majority and minority populations in representative democratic politics
