Thomas Simpson provides an innovative account of how distinctive
forms of colonial power and knowledge developed at the territorial
fringes of colonial India during the nineteenth century. Through
critical interventions in a wide range of theoretical and
historiographical fields, he speaks to historians of empire and
science, anthropologists, and geographers alike. The Frontier in
British India provides the first connected and comparative analysis
of frontiers in northwest and northeast India and draws on visual
and written materials from an array of archives across the
subcontinent and the UK. Colonial interventions in frontier spaces
and populations were, it shows, enormously destructive but also
prone to confusion and failure on their own terms. British frontier
administrators did not merely suffer 'turbulent' frontiers, but
actively worked to generate and uphold these regions as spaces of
governmental and scientific exception. Accordingly, India's
frontiers became crucial spaces of imperial practice and
imagination throughout the nineteenth century.
