Description

Dangerous Outcast traces prostitution in Bengal from precolonial times through the arrival of the British, examining how the profession was reordered to suit British desires. Drawing on nineteenth-century popular and folk culture, Sumanta Banerjee also makes impressive use of both standard archival records and a surprisingly substantial body of writing by prostitutes themselves, including voices often cast out of the historical record.

Author Biography:

Sumanta Banerjee is a cultural historian who specializes in research into popular culture, particularly of the colonial period. He is the author of many books, including The Parlour and the Streets Elite and Popular Culture in Nineteenth Century Calcutta and Dangerous Outcast The Prostitute in Nineteenth Century Bengal, both published by Seagull Books.
