The book explores the impact of colonial geography and geographers on the boundary, both during the partition process and in the period preceding it. Drawing on extensive archival research, Hannah Fitzpatrick argues that colonial geographical knowledge underpinned the partition process in heretofore unacknowledged ways. The author also discusses the consequences of placing different ethnic, communal, and linguistic groups onto the colonial map and the growing importance of majority and minority populations in representative democratic politics. Mapping Partition: Politics, Territory and the End of Empire in India and Pakistan is required reading for students and researchers studying geography, colonial and imperial history, South Asian studies, and interdisciplinary border studies"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aRGS-IBG Book Series 606 $aCartography$zIndia$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCartography$zPakistan$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPartition, Territorial 606 $aHistorical geography 607 $aIndia$xPolitics and government$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aPakistan$xPolitics and government$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aCartography$xHistory 615 0$aCartography$xHistory 615 0$aPartition, Territorial. 615 0$aHistorical geography. 676 $a954.04/2 676 $a950 700 $aFitzpatrick$b Hannah$01760076 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910877727903321 996 $aMapping Partition$94198857 997 $aUNINA
