The album features 245 black-and-white images that capture the extraordinary history of the Civil Disobedience Movement in Bombay (now Mumbai), when the city's cosmopolitan streets came alive with anti-colonial protests, processions, and propaganda--from the leading role played by the desh sevikas (members of a nationalist women's organization) to the violent crackdown of police lathis (bamboo or wooden sticks) on non-violent demonstrators.\u003cbr\u003e\nFocusing on the sea of ordinary people participating in public events, the essays in the volume engage with this remarkable visual archive that captures on camera the streets of Bombay turning into sites of anti-colonial and nationalist assertion. This book will be of interest to scholars of gender and women's studies, urban studies, screen and visual studies, consumer history, as well as the material history of colonial India.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789394501959\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.5 x 8.2 x 0.9 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapin Publishing Pvt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51128237130032,"sku":"VarietyBook_9789394501959","price":1463.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/71RA7Uopo0L.jpg?v=1773490139","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/photographing-civil-disobedience-bombay-1930-1931","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
