Sobre este artículo
New York: Cambridge U. P., 1999. 1st ed. thus. Nice Copy. octavo. stiff wrappers xiv + 412pp., maps, glossary, bibliog., index, Author shows how networks of Indian spies, runners & political secretaries were recruited by the British to secure information about their subjects; also examines the social & intellectual origins of these informants, & considers how the colonial authorities interpreted & often misinterpreted the information they supplied. He demonstrates, it was such misunderstandings which ultimately contributed to the failure of the British to anticipate the mutinies of 1857. He argues, however, that, even before this, India's complex systems of communication were challenging the political and intellectual dominance of the European rulers.
