SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"Under the Raj explores the world of the prostitute, seeking to understand the culture of the trade and its impact on society, in the changing reality of nineteenth century Bengal. Sumanta Banerjee outlines the class structure that emerged within the profession, examines popular perceptions of prostitution, and addresses questions of identity, autonomous space, collective consciousness and constructions of femininity within the prostitute community. In the process, he crafts a more supple and enhanced definition of the sociology of prostitution, moving beyond homogenizing of monolithic notions to reveal the diverse and often contradictory forces shaping commercial and social relations in colonial society."--BOOK JACKET.
