Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This is the first major study of European attitudes towards India's climate, and their bearing on imperial expansion. It shows how growing fears about racial degeneration led to the abandonment of plans for white colonization, considers European strategies for coping with Indian climate, and
explains the emergence of modern concepts of race.
