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 w 606 $aTales 606 $aFolklore 606 $aFolklorists 607 $aGreat Britain$xColonies 615 0$aTales. 615 0$aFolklore. 615 0$aFolklorists. 676 $a398.20941 700 $aNaithani$b Sadhana$01633091 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823502303321 996 $aThe story-time of the British empire$94037262 997 $aUNINA
