Everyday Technology is a pioneering account of how small machines
and consumer goods that originated in Europe and North America
became objects of everyday use in India in the late nineteenth and
early twentieth centuries. Rather than investigate "big"
technologies such as railways and irrigation projects, Arnold
examines the assimilation and appropriation of bicycles, rice
mills, sewing machines, and typewriters in India, and follows their
impact on the ways in which people worked and travelled, the
clothes they wore, and the kind of food they ate. But the effects
of these machines were not limited to the daily rituals of Indian
society, and Arnold demonstrates how such small-scale technologies
became integral to new ways of thinking about class, race, and
gender, as well as about the politics of colonial rule and Indian
nationhood.
