Description

Explore the complex history of nineteenth century Ceylon in this scholarly work by James Duncan. Published by Routledge, this book examines the island's transformation into a major global coffee producing region and the subsequent ecological disaster that led to the loss of coffee crops. Through a detailed case study, the text investigates how modern governmentality and biopower shaped the landscape. It analyzes the spatial fragmentation of modernity and how colonial practices were influenced by perceptions of race and tropical climates. This work offers a deep look into the relationship between environment, colonial power, and the development of cultural geography. It is an essential read for students and researchers interested in anthropology, sociology, and the history of colonial ecological impacts.
