Cultural Politics of Hygiene in India, 1890-1940: Contagions of Feeling - Cambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies
Srirupa Prasad
This book examines genealogies of contagion in between contagion as microbe and contagion as affect. It analyzes how and why hygiene became authoritative and succeeded in becoming a part of the broader social and cultural vocabulary within the colonialist, anti-colonial, as well as modernist discourses.
