Colonial Encounters In A Time Of Global Conflict 1914-1918 by Santanu Das, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

While the First World War has conventionally been understood as a military clash of empires, Cultural Encounters during the First World Warargues that it can be re-conceptualised as a turning point in the history of cultural encounters. The volume of essays seeks to break fresh ground by focussing on processes of encounter and exchange among combatants and non-combatants, soldiers and civilians, men and women of different national, ethnic and racial backgrounds between 1914 and 1918 and analysing their relationship to questions of wartime intimacy and propaganda, nationalism, race and identity. | Colonial Encounters In A Time Of Global Conflict 1914-1918 by Santanu Das, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
