The book is an English translation of an award winning German book.
The history of social and religious encounter in 18th century South
India is narrated through fascinating biographies and day to day
lives of Indian workers in the Tranquebar Mission (1706-1845). The
book challenges the notion that Christianity in colonial India was
basically imposed from the outside. Liebau maintains that
significant contributions were made by the local converts and
mission co-workers who played an important role in the Tranquebar
Mission.
This edited volume breaks new ground and opens up new perspectives
by capturing the role played by claims to authenticity in populist
discourses in Brazil, India and Ukraine. By conceiving of both
triumphant populism and increasing demands for authenticity as
expressions of crisis, the volume seeks to satisfy the need to take
a closer look at yearnings for orientation in a globalised world
that is often associated with rapid social change and the
disappearance of old certainties. Starting from the assumption that
media play a crucial role for populist discourses of authenticity,
the volume moves beyond conventional and social media by expanding
its focus to media in formal education, notably school textbooks
and curricula. These two particular media formats lastingly shape
younger generations and thus the future. The proposed volume adopts
global perspectives from three postcolonial countries that are
often beyond the scope of studies dealing with populist discourses
and media entanglements - insights that contribute new aspects to
international scholarly debates.

The book is a moving account of about two thousand South Asians
mostly sailors and soldiers from villages in Bengal, Nepal, the
Northwest Frontier and Punjab, who were held for years in German
prison camps. They attracted the close attention of army officers,
diplomats and secret agents, of emigrant revolutionaries of India,
of German artists, academics and industrialists. The book
introduces and makes available rich German archives as yet unknown
to the non-German speaking world.
