What They're Saying
Critics Review
‘Recommended.’ M. H. Fisher, Choice Magazine
‘Ranging widely across economic, political, and cultural history, India and the World succeeds at multiple levels. It is both scholarly and highly accessible, and brings together an immense amount of research on South Asia and its global diasporas. It is sure to be widely appreciated by students and specialists alike.’ Sunil Amrith, Yale University
‘A very welcome and sometimes controversial engagement with the experience of India and Indians from the mid-18th century, drawing on different histories and historiographies. Markovits focuses on India’s global connections and influence through multiple webs of interconnection and circulation – economic and military, many migrations, and the spread of culture and ideas.’ Judith M. Brown, Emeritus Beit Professor of Commonwealth History, University of Oxford
‘In this compelling and comprehensive work, Claude Markovits follows India’s trajectory of connections with the wider world over several centuries, both before and after colonial rule. As always, he paints with a nuanced palette, and offers a balanced overview of many significant debates.’ Sanjay Subrahmanyam, University of California, Los Angeles
‘Recommended.’ M. H. Fisher, Choice Magazine
