Communications, Media and the Imperial Experience

“This is a thoroughly admirable book, marked by a depth of research, occupying a hitherto dimly lit crossroads of imperial and media history, and illuminating each.” (Robert E. Upton, 20^th Century British History, Vol. 28 (4), December, 2017)

“This book provides important linkages between the political and historical processes of the empire and colonialism as well as a contemporary study of the impact of communication, news media and globalisation. It will be of value to those with interests in Modern Indian history and politics and communications in world history.” (Romero D’Souza, Media International Australia, Vol. 165 (1), 2017)

“All five of Professor Kaul’s essays are interesting and with this book she will have done much to shore up her reputation as one of Britain’s leading interpreters of the media. … Communications, Media and the Imperial Experience is likely to remain a standard work for many years to come.” (Joel H. Wiener, Journalism Studies, Vol. 16 (5), 2015)

“The major achievement of this book is in the way it integrates imperial and media history to generate an understanding of empire as a ‘media environment’. … provides a new and important perspective on M. K. Gandhi’s relations with the American press. … a meticulously researched, original and important contribution to the media history of the British Empire.” (Peter Putnis, Media History, Vol. 21 (4), October, 2015)
