> Teaching history through the work of Amitav Ghosh
>
> Although many historians use novels to add dimension to their textbook
> assigned reading lists, Amitav Ghosh has written two novels that could
> serve as the primary reading for courses on South Asian and Chinese
> history during the 19th century. As a former student of history and
> sociology, with a Ph.D. in Anthropology, Ghosh is able to use his
> academic training to fully document and the lives of individuals
> caught up in the transnational flows of early globalization.
>
> In Sea of Poppies and River of Smoke (the first two volumes of his
> Ibis Trilogy), Amitav Ghosh sheds light on the myriad of ways in which
> opium wreaked havoc on the lives of the millions of people, from the
> Indian peasants forced to grow the poppies and then process the opium,
> to the residents of China, which was forcibly opened to the sale of
> the banned drug.
>
> This roundtable seeks to engage in a discussion of Amitav Ghosh�s work
> (focusing on his two most recent novels, but also including reference
> to his earlier works of fiction) and how historians of South Asian and
> Chinese history might use these texts to bring a deeper awareness to
> students of the actual impacts of the various dimensions of
> colonialism and early globalization of peoples lives.
>
> If interested please send a 250 word abstract describing how you have,
> or would like to use the work of Amitav Ghosh in your teaching. The
> abstracts need to be received by July 26, and please be sure to
> include your full name, email address, mailing address, institutional
> affiliation and academic discipline. In addition, please feel free to
> forward to anyone you think would be interested.
>
> Many thanks,
