The Internationalist Moment: South Asia, Worlds, and World Views, 1917-1939, 1st Edition
Summary
The years between the First and Second World Wars comprise a critical moment in the history of the world. In the aftermath of the First World War and the Bolshevik Revolution, individuals and countries sought new solutions and blueprints for a world of greater stability, equality, and interdependency. This volume highlights this period in the political and social mobilization that comprises the 'internationalist moment, ' through the lens of South Asians' interactions with a wider world and the wider world's interactions with South Asia. The essays contribute to a growing, but as yet, inadequate field of the intellectual history of South Asia.
