Historical Geography
"Colonial and Postcolonial Geographies of India offers a good introduction to and basis for rethinking the ways in which academics theorize and teach the geographies of peoples, places, and regions."
—Economic Geography
This book fills a very significant gap in the literature on the political–economic geography of India through the colonial and contemporary periods…. the panoramic range of ideas and material landscapes explored here makes this book a unique contribution to several fields of study.
The interdisciplinary work throws new light on pressing contemporary issues as well as on issues during the colonial period. It is valuable not only for geographers but also for other social scientists concerned with society in the fast-changing world.
This book is a very useful, timely and a much-needed addition to the geographic research on colonial and postcolonial India. It is a must-read for academicians and researchers working on India and development studies.
