"Carving Blocs looks at communalism as it developed in Bengal in the early part of the twentieth century. It examines communalism as an organized ideology, saturated in mentalities and acts of violence." "Looking at the interaction of events and representational strategies, the book examines communal campaigns within which certain symbols and stereotypes were disseminated in order to mould social tensions, resulting in a world divided by two contesting identities." "Carving Blocs provides general reflections on communalism via a vivid sense of the life of the times. It will interest students of social history, communalism, religious identity and cultural politics."--Jacket.
