Bringing together archival research and literary analysis, this microhistorical study explores the decline of the Mughal empire through the life of a petty Mughal official Abdul Jalil Bilgrami as he navigated uncertainty amid the shifting currents of imperial power.Illuminating the everyday realities of a fading dynasty on the Indian subcontinent, the book offers a deeply personal lens into Bilgrami’s socio-cultural world. It also engages with broader questions of historical methodology, demonstrating how literary evidence, such as personal letters and poems, can breathe life into structural histories. By centring a lesser-known historical figure, it challenges conventional elite-centric narratives and underscores the value of microhistory in understanding larger historical processes.This volume will appeal to scholars, students, and general readers of Mughal history, South Asian studies, microhistory, and global literary studies. It is an ideal resource for educators seeking to enrich their courses as part of these specializations and diversify their recommended reading.

From Homebreakers to Jailbreakers
Against all the odds, Southall Black Sisters, a poorly funded, radical women‘s group has become synonymous with black British feminism over the last twenty-one years. They have not merely offered welfare advice from their West London base but have spearheaded campaigns on a range of issues from abused women who kill (such as the celebrated case of Kiranjit Ahluwalia) to the dangers posed to women by the rise of religious fundamentalism.This important anthology makes the connections between race, gender and class and ensures that a neglected area of current feminist debate is not lost to history through a failure to record insights gained in the heat of activism. A provocatively argued book, From Homebreakers to Jailbreakers is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the dynamics of the relationship between the disempowered margins of society and the state and the power balance between men and women.

Freedom in Captivity
How do borderland dwellers living along militarised frontiers negotiate regimes of state security and their geopolitical location in everyday life? What might 'freedom' mean to those who do not resist captivity engendered by borders? Focusing on the predicaments of a double-minority, Freedom in Captivity examines the affective attachments, political imaginaries, and ethical claims-making among the Shia Muslims of Kargil. In contrast to calls for freedom in the Kashmir Valley, Shias on the frontiers of Kashmir have sought belonging to India. Yet they do not entirely succumb to its hegemonic ideological boundaries. Departing from the dominant focus on physical cross-border mobility, this book is an invitation to reimagine borderlands as cartographies of ideas, cutting across spatial scales. Based on original ethnographic research conducted between 2008 and 2021, this monograph offers a unique long durée insight into the lives of people residing at the intersections of the biggest states in Asia.

Sexual Self-Fashioning
Sexuality and gender have come to serve as measures for cultural belonging in discussions of the position of Muslim immigrants in multicultural Western societies. While the acceptance of assumed local norms such as sexual liberty and gender equality are seen as successful integration, rejecting them is regarded as a sign of failed citizenship. Focusing on premarital sex, homosexuality, and cohabitation outside marriage, this book provides an ethnographic account of sexuality among the Iranian Dutch. It argues that by embracing, rejecting, and questioning modernity in stories about sexuality, the Iranian Dutch actively engage in processes of self-fashioning.
