Conclusion. Glossary. Bibliography. Index. This book is a historical study of order and disorder in early colonial Bengal. It focuses on the encounter of social restlessness, crime, and violence, on the one hand, and the colonial state's attempt to control these, on the other. Exploring these themes through unique descriptions of the numerous instruments of control and myriad breaches of law, Order and Disorder in Early Colonial Bengal: 18001860 investigates the mechanism of social control with reference to contemporary British administrative policies and the ideological background and colonial perceptions of law and justice. It also concentrates on the various social disorders faced by the colonial state at times when the society was relatively free from insurrectionary disturbances. It gives a detailed account of apparently less significant rural violence, dacoity and rural riots in particularwhich kept the local authorities on their toesin the light of popular attitudes, prejudices and perceptions of law and order vis-a-vis the colonial one.…

List of contributors. Index. Concern for the environment is not new it has always existed. One of the flash points in the inner conflicts within human societies of the past was fuelled by the continuous effort to resolve the legitimate use of the natural world. Nature is one of those spaces where we observe the most intense form of class struggle and power politics the more privileged control the natural resources. The rapid unfolding of power relations the rise of new technology to exploit the environment the growing resource crunch and a perceived environmental crisis have resulted in the development of a new field of study environmental history an important gateway to knowledge in general and environmental studies in particular. Situating Environmental History brings together several eminent scholars who share a common interest in the environmental history of South Asia. The work is divided in four sections. In section I Understanding environmental history Karl Jacoby Alok Kumar Ghosh Arun Bandopadhyay and Archana Prasad contribute to our understanding of environmentalism its historiography and the role of state legislation and the popular response thereto. In section II Communities on the margin Vinita Damodaran Ritajyoti Bandyopadhyay focus on different communities in the periphery lying outside the supposed mainstream and their fight for their own perceptions of justice and legitimate claims. In section III Colonialism post colonialism the state and the management of nature Kaushik Roy Arabinda Samanta Amal Das Sahara Ahmed Jagdish N. Sinha and Sumit Guha look at the evolution of state policy on environmental questions through different periods of Indian history. In section IV Beyond India Rita Pemberton Lawrence Gundersen and Tridib Chakrabarti study environmental issues in the countries beyond India. 396 pp.…

Few would recall that Digha, a popular beach resort in West Bengal, was once a small fishing village called Birkul or Beerkul, home to the Malangis who were the traditional producers of salt. Birkul also finds mention in British settlement records. Similarly, Jadavpur (now well known for Jadavpur University), located on the southern fringe of Kolkata, was once a small village called Ibrahimpur. Though Ibrahimpur is forgotten, there still exists a road in the area that bears this name. Dictionary of Historical Places: Bengal, 1757-1947 is the first of its kind to deal with hundreds of such little known histories. Given the recurring geophysical and climatic disruptions in West Bengal, repeated changes of administrative units and names, lack of collective memory or adequately documented folk sources or oral traditions, the compilation of such a dictionary brings its own challenges. The entries in this dictionary are but an attempt at writing aspects of local history during a particular period, and demonstrate how numerous factors affected the landscape of West Bengal.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Climate, Calamity and the Wild: An Environmental History of the Bengal Delta, c.1737-1947 offers a climatic and environmental history of the deltaic plains of Bengal. Unlike the prevalent model of history-writing, this book tackles historical issues in ecological, biological and cultural terms, turning away from conventional ideological and political approaches. The volume examines how the delta's political economy, production, crop pattern, inland and overseas trade, demographic pattern, culture and economy developed and were transformed by shifts in climate, forests, river systems and hydrology. This involves an exploration of the complex dynamics of the interaction of human societies with the rich history of natural disasters such as super cyclones, severe thunderstorms and floods, resulting in loss of life, property, livestock, human settlements and wildlife as well as major shifts in the history of colonial Bengal. This work aims to break the silence in the history-writing of Bengal relating to the climatic and environmental significance of the delta.…

Does Environmental History Matter? explores the territory of climate history and environmentalism through its methodology and historiography, focusing on its origins and usefulness in the contemporary world as well as its multidisciplinary character. The chapters brought together in this volume examine numerous issues in the context of the ongoing global climate crisis and analyse how such disasters are caused by the complex relationship between humans and the environment. Through their writings, the contributors thus call for a greater understanding of the connections between natural disasters and human-led activities such hunting, land use, deforestation, soil erosion, and overconsumption of resources. The volume grasps historical problems in terms of ecological, biological and cultural terms, drifting away from conventional methodologies of history while also questioning the gaps in history writing relating to the climate and the environment.…
