India in Britain cover

Moving away from orthodox narratives of the Raj and British presence in India, this book examines the significance of the networks and connections that South Asians established on British soil. Looking at the period 1858-1950, it presents readings of cultural history and points to the urgent need to open up the parameters of this field of study.

'This is indeed an impressive and ground-breaking collection of essays, offering significantly new research, and revealing the important contributions to British culture, society, and history made by Indian immigrants and visitors to Britain prior to World War ll.' - Lyn Innes, Emeritus Professor of Postcolonial Literatures, University of Kent, Canterbury, UK
