Description and Table of Contents
Description
This is a study of European attitudes towards India's climate and their bearing on imperial expansion. It shows how growing fears about racial degeneration led to the abandonment of plans for white colonization and considers European strategies for coping with Indian climate, and explains the emergence of modern concepts of race.
