A Raj Collection
"The four novels in this volume, together, span the entire period of Raj Literature, offering a vivid portrait of colonial India from the time of Kipling to Indian Independence. They trace the changing relationship between the rulers and the ruled from the heyday of the Empire to its demise in 1947, and add to our understanding of the British and their predicament in India." "All novels have been out of print for several years and almost impossible to procure. The decision to revive these is based largely on the continued fascination with Anglo-Indian writing and its growing importance in critical postcolonial discourses." "Prepared with the general reader in mind, this anthology should also fascinate students of English literature and all those interested in colonial history and constructions of race and gender."--BOOK JACKET.

The Entangled State
"For one year, Nicholas Herriman lived in a village in Indonesia, studying the way state officials interacted with local residents. He did so by looking at the problems created by sorcery. Local residents wished to be rid of alleged sorcerers, and sometimes even killed them. This presented a conundrum for state officials, who, generally sympathizing with the plight of the majority of local residents, were constrained by the rule of law. This book describes how state officials responded to the conundrum. Prevailing models of state-society interaction in Indonesia proved inadequate to describe the response, so Herriman's study outlines a different model."--Publisher's website.
