Produktbeschreibung

This book analyses the unexplored areas of both economic history as well as environmental history of late-eighteenth, nineteenth and the early-twentieth century's colonial rule in South India (1792-1947). It looks at the extractive nature of colonial revenue policy, commercialisation of forest resources, consequences of coffee plantations, intrusion into tribal forests and tribal-controlled geographical regions and disintegration of the tribals' socio-cultural, political, administrative and judicial systems.
