"Many fine scholars have contributed to this book, and the overall quality of the chapters is very high ... this is a valuable compilation of meticulously researched material ... Anyone interested in either the region's past or present will find this collection informative and worth reading" - Asian Affairs,"This is a valuable collection of essays, particularly useful for the teaching at university level of a new imperial history which refuses to be blind to the often dire environmental consequences of european colonialism" - David Hardiman, Times Higher Education Supplement
