The authors provide a clear and balanced guide to a burgeoning literature. Emphasizing diversity of outcomes, they consider how colonizers and colonized stimulated or hindered their respective economies, in the light of environmental constraints. William G. Clarence-Smith, SOAS University of London This book gives a nuanced view of how colonial rule was not merely intended as an exploitative tool but was a combination of the empire's desire for power, the intended or unintended consequences of their policies as well as local factors.
