The author draws on a wealth of archival materials-autobiographies, memoirs, fiction, and ethnographies-to situate Indian men firmly in the domestic world, underlining their dependence on the family and home. He investigates how men negotiate marriage, intimacy, and conjugality and focuses the effects of the humiliating and constant assertion of gender, caste, and class power in familial interactions. To uncover the nuances of these relationships, Pandey attends to the domestic commitments of upper-, middle-, and lower-class men across religion and caste. He considers issues of honor and shame, rights and responsibilities, citizenship and belonging through this exploration of how men across the subcontinent understand themselves in and beyond their domestic relationships. As much as it is a book about masculinity and conjugality, this is a book about Indian modernity, nationalism, and society as seen from the location of men in the home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGyanendra Pandey is Arts and Sciences Distinguished Professor of History at Emory University and author of \u003ci\u003eA History of Prejudice: Race, Caste, and Difference in India and the United States\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eRemembering Partition: Violence, Nationalism, and History in India\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Construction of Communalism in Colonial North India\u003c\/i\u003e, among other books.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.55 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 28, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52733107142963,"sku":"9781478031383","price":50.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/axXpHHP_nq9781478031383.webp?v=1763917146","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/men-at-home-imagining-liberation-in-colonial-and-postcolonial-india-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
