A brief history of British-Indian relations situates the period in question and paints a picture of the powers at play. Themes of power dynamics, racism, and gender roles are explored in relation to art and animal history, offering a comprehensive view of a phenomenon that was accepted but never openly discussed. The power of symbolic imagery in constructing cultural identities is emphasized and illustrations vividly support the thesis for the various stages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Undergraduate student Ana Teodorescu recently had an article published in the peer-reviewed Columbia Journal of Asia.
