520    This rich cultural history set in Punjab examines a little
       -studied body of popular literature to illustrate both the
       durability of a vernacular literary tradition and the 
       limits of colonial dominance in British India. Farina Mir 
       asks how qisse, a vibrant genre of epics and romances, 
       flourished in colonial Punjab despite British efforts to 
       marginalize the Punjabi language. She explores topics 
       including Punjabi linguistic practices, print and 
       performance, and the symbolic content of qisse. She finds 
       that although the British denied Punjabi language and 
       literature almost all forms of state patron.
