In this episode, Suchitra Vijayan is in conversation with Dr. Deana Heath about her book Colonial Terror. Focusing on India between the early nineteenth century and the First World War, Colonial Terror explores the centrality of the torture of Indian bodies to the law-preserving violence of colonial rule and some of the ways in which extraordinary violence was embedded in the ordinary operation of colonial states. Dr. Deana Heath is a Senior Lecturer in History at the University of Liverpool. She writes and teaches about South Asian, imperial and colonial and global histories and their post-colonial legacies.
