520 _aThe two collections of papers seem, at first sight, to have everything in common. They deal with the two sides of the same medal: the history of peasant farming and agrarian society in the colonial period in South Asia. They have been written by teams of talented historians who stick to their overarching themes; so the two books form more coherent wholes than festschrifts and sets of conference papers have any right to do. They have been published by two commercial publishers with production values as high as many university presses: the kind of publishing houses that have sprung up in India just as they have died out in the West. As a result, no student—no scholar—interested in the history of agriculture or rural society in India can afford to neglect them. – Reproduced
