Reviews

'Lionel Caplan has produced a splendid study, on a significant subject long overdue. What makes the work more useful is its solid base of fresh empirical data, together with its critical and sophisticated treatment of conceptual and theoretical issues. I commend this book to scholars and general readers alike.' Robert Eric Frykenberg, University of Wisconsin at Madison 'An impressive and empathetic analysis of the Anglo-Indian community in India today, which is recommended not only for scholars, but for general readers interested in ethnicity and sociology.' Chowkidar 'An excellent analysis of how the boundaries between Europeans, Anglo-Indians and Indians were guarded ... This book should appeal to South Asian specialists and post-colonial theorists.' Times Higher Education Supplement 'Timely and broad in perspective.' The Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute
