这本书巩固了关于古吉拉特邦的英语和其他欧洲语言，特别是荷兰语、德语、法语、意大利语和葡萄牙语的学术研究。它汇集了著名的来源，以及稀有和未被充分利用的研究材料。提供了自1800年以来出版的书籍、章节、期刊文献、论文、项目报告和其他材料的详细参考书目；也包括匿名作品和精选的政府出版物，如地名录和人口普查报告。这些头衔涉及历史、政治和发展研究、文学和文科、社会学、文化和社会人类学等学科边界。在这些方面，这本书是对古吉拉特邦现代学术传统的全面介绍。
然而，读者也被鼓励将这些参考文献视为权力的产物--每个条目都在我们今天了解古吉拉特邦的方式中发挥着一定的作用。写作通常有一个社交生活，与其他文本、与其他作者以及与读者的关系令人愉快。提供了指向其中一些联系的注释，特别是当标题没有提供信息、论点、数据或来源值得注意时，或者当偶然需要时。在这方面，文本可以被阅读，以追溯某些思想、地区传统和文学中的关注点的谱系。作为一个整体，这本书可以创造性地阅读，作为地区历史的另一种形式，作为关于古吉拉特邦当前观念形成的文献的浓缩。
该书还对古吉拉特邦文学中的关键主题进行了新的和原创的研究，并在此基础上进行了大量的介绍，以及这些主题如何渗入目前该地区的流行政治和生活中。
自1800年以来古吉拉特邦的社会和历史：英语和欧洲语源精选书目是任何对现代古吉拉特邦感兴趣的人的宝贵指南，受众将包括活动家、管理者、学者、学生和其他具有批判性知识的人。
This book consolidates scholarship on Gujarat in English and other European languages, notably, Dutch, German, French, Italian and Portuguese. It draws together well-known sources, as well as rare and under-exploited research material. Detailed bibliographical references are provided for books, chapters, periodical literature, dissertations, project-reports, other materials published since 1800; anonymous works and select government publications, such as gazetteers and census reports, are also included. The titles considered spread across the disciplinary boundaries of history, political and development studies, literature and the liberal arts, sociology, cultural and social anthropology. In these respects, the book is a comprehensive introduction to modern traditions of scholarship on Gujarat.
The reader is however also encouraged to treat the references as artefacts of power – each entry playing some role in the way we have come to know what we know about Gujarat today. Writing often has a social life, entertaining relations with other texts, with other authors, and with a readership. Annotations pointing to some of these connections are provided, especially when titles are uninformative, argument, data or provenance notable, or when serendipity has demanded. In this respect, the text can be read to trace the genealogy of certain ideas, regional traditions and preoccupations in the literature. Taken as a whole, the book can be read creatively as an alternative form of regional history, as a condensation of the literature from which current ideas about Gujarat have been formed.
The book also contains a substantial introduction based on new and original research on the key themes in the literature on Gujarat and how these themes spill into popular politics and life in the region at present.
Society and History of Gujarat since 1800: A Select Bibliography of the English and European Language Sources is an invaluable guide to anyone interested in modern Gujarat, an audience which will include activists, administrators, scholars, students and others with critically informed minds.
