Mahatma Gandhi: A Selected Bibliography

April F. Carter

Selectively drawing on the vast literature on Gandhi published since the 1920s, this bibliography covers his life, political campaigns, and philosophy and strategy of non-violence, or satyagraha. It also includes assessments of his historical significance and works on the Gandhian movement since 1948. The book sets Gandhi in his historical and political context, including material on his colleagues and contemporaries, the Indian National Congress, and how governments in South Africa, India and Britain responded to his campaigns. Directed to English-speaking students, the work concentrates on English-language materials. It includes important works published in India, but stresses perceptions of Gandhi and his significance in the West. Intended for students, as well as scholars of 20th-century Indian history, the volume does not assume prior knowledge. It opens with a short biography of Gandhi, followed by a chronology of his life and includes a glossary of Indian terms. Entries are carefully annotated to set books and authors in their historical context and to distinguish between scholarly and more personal or partisan assessments of Gandhi. Designed specifically for researchers in the Western English-speaking world, this bibliography emphasises books and articles published in the West and selective literature published in India from the 1920s to the 1990s.
