The New York Times was once considered the gold standard in American journalism and the most trusted news organization in America.

Governing Gender and Sexuality in Colonial India The Hijra, c.1850-1900

Governing Gender and Sexuality in Colonial India The Hijra, c.1850-1900
Jessica Hinchy, "Governing Gender and Sexuality in Colonial India: The Hijra, c.1850-1900"
English | 2020 | pages: 333 | ISBN: 1108716881, 110849255X | PDF | 13,0 mb
In 1865, the British rulers of north India resolved to bring about the gradual 'extinction' of transgender Hijras. This book, the first in-depth history of the Hijra community, illuminates the colonial and postcolonial governance of gender and sexuality and the production of colonial knowledge. From the 1850s, colonial officials and middle class Indians increasingly expressed moral outrage at Hijras' feminine gender expression, sexuality, bodies and public performances. To the British, Hijras were an ungovernable population that posed a danger to colonial rule. In 1871, the colonial government passed a law that criminalised Hijras, with the explicit aim of causing Hijras' 'extermination'. But Hijras evaded police, kept on the move, broke the law and kept their cultural traditions alive. Based on extensive archival work in India and the UK, Jessica Hinchy argues that Hijras were criminalised not simply because of imported British norms, but due to a complex set of local factors, including elite Indian attitudes.

Geometry II Spaces of Constant Curvature

Geometry II Spaces of Constant Curvature
Geometry II: Spaces of Constant Curvature by E. B. Vinberg
English | PDF | 1993 | 263 Pages | ISBN : 3540520007 | 24 MB
Spaces of constant curvature, i.e. Euclidean space, the sphere, and Loba chevskij space, occupy a special place in geometry. They are most accessible to our geometric intuition, making it possible to develop elementary geometry in a way very similar to that used to create the geometry we learned at school. However, since its basic notions can be interpreted in different ways, this geometry can be applied to objects other than the conventional physical space, the original source of our geometric intuition. Euclidean geometry has for a long time been deeply rooted in the human mind. The same is true of spherical geometry, since a sphere can naturally be embedded into a Euclidean space.

General Topology I Basic Concepts and Constructions Dimension Theory

General Topology I Basic Concepts and Constructions Dimension Theory
General Topology I: Basic Concepts and Constructions Dimension Theory by A. V. Arkhangel'skii
English | PDF | 1990 | 210 Pages | ISBN : 3642647677 | 37.8 MB
General topology is the domain of mathematics devoted to the investigation of the concepts of continuity and passage to a limit at their natural level of generality. The most basic concepts of general topology, that of a topological space and a continuous map, were introduced by Hausdorff in 1914. One ofthe central problems oftopology is the determination and investigation of topological invariants; that is, properties of spaces which are preserved under homeomorphisms.
