Meer over het boek

The book delves into the British conquest of South Asia during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, focusing on their strategy of "islanding." It examines how the British sought to establish a distinct colonial governance and trade unit, influenced by their understanding of ethnology, culture, and geography. Through this lens, the narrative reveals the complexities of colonial ambitions and the systematic organization behind the British Empire's expansion in the region.
