The Black Hole of Empire: History of a Global Practice of Power Paperback - 2012
by Partha Chatterjee
From the rear cover
"This is a powerfully argued account of the origins and subsequent justification of British rule in India, and an exploration of the response by Bengali elites to colonialism. A work of classic history, this book carries an intellectual power and brilliance of insight that will excite much interest and comment."--Thomas Metcalf, professor emeritus of history, University of California, Berkeley
"Moving skillfully between gripping narrative and thoughtful interpretation, The Black Hole of Empire is a deeply researched, brilliantly crafted, and exquisitely written work on the British empire in India. Ambitious and complex, it richly resonates with contemporary political and ethical concerns. A masterly work by one of the finest intellectuals of our times."--Sugata Bose, Harvard University
