Crafting the nation in colonial India
McGowan, Abigail.

Crafting the nation in colonial India[electronic resource] /Abigail McGowan. - 1st ed. - New York, NY :Palgrave Macmillan,2009. - xiii, 265 p. :ill. ;22 cm.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Demanding knowledge, documenting the body -- The culture of difference : from colonial knowledge to the problem with crafts -- Developing traditions : preservationist design and the independentartisan -- Modernizing artisanship : rationalization, efficiency and the cult of the craftsman -- Conclusion : the long life of difference : Gandhi and the politics of crafts after 1920.

"Well before Gandhi popularized hand-spun, hand-woven cloth, Britishand Indian activists had made crafts central to plans for India's economic and cultural revival.  Combining tradition and employment at a time of industrial transition, crafts appealed to both government officials and nationalist activists alike - even as they bemoaned artisansas conservative and backwards.  That connection between development and cultural judgment was not incidental. Drawing on a wide range ofcraft development initiatives in western India between 1851 and 1922 -from art and industrial schoolsto model factories, pattern books, exhibitions, technical experiments, and cooperatives - McGowan argues thatcrafts came to political prominence through British and Indian negotiations over power: power over the lower classes, over the economy, and over the future of the country.
