This book explores the various levels of mentality in a colonial society, especially with regard to gender, sex, and the young. The authors address the experiences of children at school and adolescents at college, as well as the confrontations of Bhadralok, Baul, and Mullah, and the muted voices of women in purdah.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"We must be thankful that Oxford University Press has seen fit to publish a volume of historical papers which actually raise questions, probe deeply into available sources, reason objectively and honestly without total submission to irrelevant ideologies external to the material, and arrive at conclusions which are derived refreshingly from the evidence or what we are unashamedly, once called "facts." Incredible as it seems, Mind, Body, and Society contains hundreds and hundreds of endnotes and an impressive list of biliographical sources in English and Bengali."--Journal of the American Oriental Society
