Until 1858, when Queen Victoria assumed sovereignty following the Indian Rebellion, the country was run by the East India Company—by this time a hybrid of state and commercial enterprises and eloquently and fiercely attacked as intrinsically immoral and dangerous by Edmund Burke in the late 1700s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSeeking to go beyond the statutes and ceremony and show the reality of the interactions between rulers and ruled on a local level, \u003cem\u003eRace and Power in British India\u003c\/em\u003e looks at one of the most interesting phenomena of British India—the 'Eurasians'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe adventurers of the early years of Indian occupation arrived alone and, in taking 'native' mistresses and wives, created a race of administrators who were 'others' to both the native population and the British ruling class. These Anglo-Indian people existed in the zone between the coloniser and the colonised, and their history provides a wonderfully rich source for understanding Indian social history, race, and colonial hegemony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48147721683180,"sku":"9781350154667","price":65.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781350154667-race-and-power-in-british-india.jpg?v=1786451027"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/valerie-anderson.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
