Sudipta Sen is Professor of History at the University of California, Davis.
"Conflicts between Indian and British conceptions of the marketplace profoundly affected the economy and society of colonial India. Concentrating on the 1770-1820 period in eastern India (Bengal and Bihar), Sudipta Sen examines such conflicts and their results with remarkable deftness and insight, grounded in his strong control over the relevant source material. . . . Sen's skillful use of rich detail and his clear and thoughtful analysis of larger patterns about the exchange of goods makes this book a major advance in our understanding."--Labour/Le Travail
