This is an important, revisionist account of the origins of the
British Empire in Asia in the early modern period. David Veevers
uncovers a hidden world of transcultural interactions between
servants of the English East India Company and the Asian
communities and states they came into contact with, revealing how
it was this integration of Europeans into non-European economies,
states and societies which was central to British imperial and
commercial success rather than national or mercantilist enterprise.
As their servants skilfully adapted to this rich and complex
environment, the East India Company became enfranchised by the
eighteenth century with a breadth of privileges and rights - from
governing sprawling metropolises to trading customs-free. In
emphasising the Asian genesis of the British Empire, this book
sheds new light on the foreign frameworks of power which fuelled
the expansion of Global Britain in the early modern world.
