Wiring the Nation by Michael Mann
This book analyses the social, cultural and political consequences of the telegraph in British India between 1850 and 1930. It demonstrates in how far the telegraph influenced and changed newspaper reportage in British India and, at the same time, to what extend it influenced the Indian national movement after the turn of the nineteenth century.
Wiring the Nation is a welcome addition to the growing literature on Indian NewspapersMann's work in this archive is most welcome and will, one hopes, encourage more young scholars to dig in these understudied trenches.
Michael Mann is Professor in the Department of South Asian History and Society at the Institute of Asian and African Studies, at Humboldt University, Berlin, Germany. His areas of interest include South Asian economic and social history, environmental history, and urban history.
