Description

Explore the complex connection between environmental change and political power in An Encroaching Sea. Part of the Cambridge Oceanic Histories series, this work by Devika Shankar examines the south-west coastline of India between 1860 and 1950. Through a detailed study of a port development project in Cochin during the early twentieth century, the book investigates how ecological instability and political uncertainty drive risky development. Shankar analyzes how issues like coastal erosion and sovereignty disputes between neighboring princely states and the British impacted regional growth. This text provides a deep look into the history of development at the edge of British India, making it a valuable resource for those studying the intersection of ecology and politics.
