The Story-Time of the British Empire: Transnational Folkloristics as Theory of Cultural Disjunctions; Notes; References; IndexIn The Story-Time of the British Empire, author Sadhana Naithani examines folklore collections compiled by British colonial administrators, military men, missionaries, and women in the British colonies of Africa, Asia, and Australia between 1860 and 1950. Much of this work was accomplished in the context of colonial relations and done by non-folklorists, yet these oral narratives and poetic expressions of non-Europeans were transcribed, translated, published, and discussed internationally. Naithani analyzes the role of folklore scholarship in the construction of colonial cultural politics as wTalesFolkloreFolkloristsGreat BritainColoniesTales.Folklore.Folklorists.398.20941Naithani Sadhana1484504MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910791474203321The story-time of the British empire3719213UNINA
