Invoking Marginality

Mutiny at the Margins: New Perspectives on the Indian Uprising of 1857 is a seven-volume series that has emerged from a research project based at the University of Edinburgh involving collaborative research and international conferences beginning in the 150th year marking the revolt. Aiming to move beyond traditional nationalist and imperialist perspectives, the series invokes marginality in a variety of ways to offer fresh perspectives on a topic saturated with historical discourse, yet prone to repetitious and limiting interpretations. Of the seven volumes, each organized around a specific thematic focus, three are awaited.
