ENGAGING SUBJECTIVE KNOWLEDGE: Narrative of and by the Self in the Amar Singh Diary

Amar Singh, a Rajput nobleman and officer in the British Indian Army, kept a daily diary for 44 years, from 1898 to 1942. In their book Reversing the Gaze:...A Colonial Subject's Narrative of Imperial India, the speakers present the diarist as reflexive "native" ethnographer.
