Through close examination of the correlation between tropicality
and "otherness" and of science as a means of colonial
appropriation, this volume offers a new interpretation of the
history of colonial India and a critical contribution to the
understanding of environmental history and the tropical world.
David Arnold is professor emeritus of history at University of
Warwick.
"Arnold deftly untangles and analyses the nature of the
connections between literary representations of the land, the
development of botanical knowledge, and the consolidation of
colonial power." "-Times Literary Supplement "
"A rich study of changing British perceptions of India. . . .
Arnold's arguments about how scientific travelers of the early
nineteenth century reimagined India as a place of death and
tropicality are nuanced and powerful." "-Environmental History"
