Between 1765 and 1858, British imperialists in India obsessed
continuously about gaining and preserving Indian "opinion" of
British moral and racial prestige. Weaving political, intellectual,
cultural, and gender history together in an innovative approach,
"Gender, Morality, and Race in Company India, 1765-1858" examines
imperial anxieties regarding British moral misconduct in India
ranging from debt and gift giving to drunkenness and irreligion and
points out their wider relationship to the structuring of British
colonialism. Showing a pervasive fear among imperial elites of
losing "mastery" over India, as well as a deep distrust of Indian
civil and military subordinates through whom they ruled, Sramek
demonstrates how much of the British Raj's notable racial arrogance
after 1858 can in fact be traced back into the preceding Company
period of colonial rule. Rather than the Sepoy Rebellion of 1857
ushering in a more racist form of colonialism, this book powerfully
suggests far greater continuity between the two periods of colonial
rule than scholars have hitherto generally recognized.
