Reviews for Colonialism as Civilizing Mission
'What is intellectually stimulating is the variety that this volume offers - the ways in which individual essays bring into light a new body of archival sources as well as the manner in which eash essay offers a specific geographical-cultural episode of a larger pan-Indian narrative around the colonial "civilizing mission."' —Srirupa Prasad, 'Journal of Colonialism and Colonial History'
