You are formally invited to an illuminating Zoom book event featuring author Amanda Lanzillo. In her new book, Pious Labor, Lanzillo explores how, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, laborers across northern India found themselves negotiating rapid industrial change, emerging technologies, and class hierarchies. In response to these changes, Indian Muslim artisans asserted the connection between their religion and labor, using the popular press to redefine Islamic traditions. Focusing on metalsmiths, stonemasons, tailors, press workers, and carpenters, Pious Labor explores colonial-era social and technological changes from the workers’ perspectives. Amanda Lanzillo reveals how the colonial marginalization of these artisans shapes the ongoing exclusion of laboring voices. Using Urdu technical manuals and community histories, she highlights the materiality and cultural agency of artisans, addressing a significant gap in South Asian history.
