| Summary: | "Through the India-China Border draws together original research on imperial history, postwar politics and culture by utilising rarely used archival material-British, Chinese and Indian-and sheds new light on our understandings of the 'Tibet question' in India-China relations. In its foregrounding of espionage, intrigues and the interplay of political machinations in the small border town of Kalimpong in the 1920s up until 1962, this book challenges the way remote regions, or peripheries, are typically seen from the 'centres' of nations. The innovative use of postcolonial and transcultural theories demonstrates how this transdisciplinary framework enriches our reading and writing of decolonial history. In its interdisciplinary approach, the book provides insights into the historical making of India-China relations. It reveals the motivations of actors who are not necessarily always tied to statecraft."-- |
