This interdisciplinary study is suitable for historians and anthropologists, as well as scholars of South Asia and colonialism.

Trade Review
"This is an innovative work of exceptional intellectual quality - a sophisticated study of a significant but analytically intractable subject in Bengali intellectual history. Sartori's approach is methodologically complex, and he combines this with a rich reading of a great deal of Bengali material." - Sudipta Kaviraj, Columbia University"
