    "title": "Excerpt from India in the American Imaginary, 1780s–1880s",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "This book seeks to frame the “the idea of India” in the American  imaginary within a transnational lens that is attentive to global flows  of goods, people, and ideas within the circuits of imperial and maritime  economies in nineteenth century America (roughly 1780s-1880s). This  diverse and interdisciplinary volume – with essays by upcoming as well  as established scholars – aims to add to an understanding of the fast  changing terrain of economic, political, and cultural life in the US as  it emerged from being a British colony to having imperial ambitions of  its own on the global stage. The essays trace, variously, the evolution  of the changing self-image of a nation embodying a surprisingly  cosmopolitan sensibility, open to different cultural values and customs  in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century to one that slowly  adopted rigid and discriminatory racial and cultural attitudes spawned  by the widespread missionary activities of the ABCFM and the fierce  economic pulls and pushes of American mercantilism by the end of the  nineteenth century. The different uses of India become a way of refining  an American national identity.",
