Negotiating Cultural Identity: Landscapes in Early Medieval South Asian History

by Himanshu Prabha Ray (Editor)

This volume breaks new ground by conceptualizing landscape as a dynamic cultural complex in which the natural world and human practice are inextricably linked and are constantly interacting. It examines the social and cultural construction of space in the early medieval period in South Asia, as manifest in society, religious architecture and as shaped through trade and economic transactions.
