Reviews
'For its fresh approach, blending the histories of knowledge and political thought; for its persuasive argument, based on deep research in Persian and European-language sources; and for its lucid and elegant style, Ehrlich's wonderful book will be required reading for historians of the East India Company, South Asia, and the British Empire.' Rosane Rocher, University of Pennsylvania, 'In a work as ambitious as it is meticulous, Joshua Ehrlich reveals the British conquest of India to have been the work not only of the 'merchant' and the 'sovereign' but also of the scholar - as much the product of advancing armies and revenue officials as of the translators, historians, surveyors, libraries, learned societies, colleges, gardens, and many more that made the case for how and why to rule that expanding empire. This book offers a compelling account of how debates over scholarship and education shaped the East India Company state, as well as a thought-provoking reflection on the ways in which the power to create and command knowledge has been central to ideologies of global corporate power, from the eighteenth century to today's 'information economy.'' Philip J. Stern, Duke University, 'This is an important book. Compellingly written, it offers valuable insights into the connections between politics, knowledge, and corporate interests - connections that sit at the core of pressing contemporary debates.' Kapil Raj, École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales
