Reseña del libro "Anthropologist and Imperialist (en Inglés)"

Sir Herbert Hope Risley (1851 - 1911) - 'H. H. Risley', as he always signed himself - was a member of the Indian Civil Service (ICS) from 1873 to 1910 who served in Bengal and became a senior administrator and policymaker in the colonial government, as well as the pre-eminent anthropologist in British India. He was also an imperialist, who was convinced of the rightness of 'civilising' British rule and its benefits for both India and Britain, and one of this book's objectives is to render his simultaneous commitment to anthropology and imperialism intelligible to present-day readers. More specifically, Anthropologist and Imperialist: H. H. Risley and British India, 1873-1911 documents the two sides of Risley's career, which is used as a case-study to investigate, first, the production and circulation of colonial knowledge, specifically anthropological knowledge, and secondly, its often loose and inconsistent connection with administration and policymaking, and with the government and state overall.Risley, like other officials engaged in anthropology in India, as well as the government itself, insisted that ethnography and anthropology had both 'administrative' and 'scientific' value; unlike previous works on Indian colonial anthropology, this book carefully examines its 'scientific' contributions in relation to contemporary metropolitan anthropology. It does not attempt to reinvent 'greatman' political or intellectual history, but does demonstrate the importance of studying the powerful officials who ruled British India, as well as the minor provincial politicians and subaltern subjects - or the abstract forces, such as colonialism and resistance - that have dominated recent historical scholarship. This book shows, too, that a detailed inquiry into Risley's career, and his ideas and actions, can open new perspectives on a variety of continuing debates, including those over the colonial construction of caste and race in 'traditional' India, orientalism and forms of colonial knowledge, Victorian anthropology's close relationship with the British empire, and the modern discipline's uneasy links with its colonial past.Print edition not for sale in South Asia (India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Bhutan)
