{"product_id":"9780199088775","title":"Punjab Reconsidered: History, Culture, and Practice","description":"What is Punjabiyat? What are the different notions of Punjab? This volume analyses these ideas and explores the different aspects that constitute Punjab as a region conceptually in history, culture, and practice. Each essay examines a different Punjabi culture—language-based and literary; religious and those that define a 'community'; rural, urban, and middle class; and historical, contemporary, and cosmopolitan. Together, these essays unravel the complex foundations of Punjabiyat.    The volume also shows how the recent history of Punjab—partition, aspirations of statehood, and a large and assertive diaspora—has had a discernible impact on the region's scholarship. Departing from conventional studies on Punjab, this book presents fresh perspectives and new insights into its regional culture.","brand":"OUP India","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47072915456240,"sku":"9780199088775","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780199088775_p0.jpg?v=1763668022","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780199088775","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
