Objects of Translation: Material Culture and Medieval "Hindu-Muslim" Encounter (Princeton University Press, 2009)
Thursday, November 12, 2009 | 12:30pm - 1:45pm

BARRY FLOOD (Institute of Fine Arts and Art History, New York University)
Objects of Translation offers a nuanced approach to the entanglements of medieval elites in the regions that today comprise Afghanistan, Pakistan, and north India. The book ranges in time from the early eighth to the early thirteenth centuries and challenges existing narratives that cast the period as one of enduring hostility between monolithic "Hindu" and "Muslim" cultures.
