Subject Lessons

Seth, S: 2007 Durham and London, softcover 264 pages. Sanjay Seth examines how modern Western schooling in colonial India not only transmitted new knowledge, but also reshaped what it meant to be a “subject” who thinks, knows and experiences the world. Using case studies of history and social science teaching, Seth argues that colonial education transformed Indian ways of knowing, marginalizing older epistemologies and producing new forms of political and cultural identity under British rule.
