520 8 Annotation|b"An interdisciplinary exploration of science,
nature, and race in colonial India."
520 8 Annotation|bScience was a central pillar of colonialism,
but the converse holds true as well: colonialism
profoundly shaped the character of nineteenth-century
science. Civilizing Natures unravels unexpected
relationships between science, technology, and
administrative systems in colonial India from the 1850s to
the 1930s, deepening our perspective on continuing
conflicts over race, resources, and empire. Botanists,
anthropologists, and foresters had their most important
sources of data-nature and natives-located at colonial
sites. In the hilly, forested regions of Madras Presidency,
tribal populations were studied by ethnographers, managed
by revenue officials, recruited by plantation contractors,
and modernized by missionaries. Racial constructions of
nature and modernity helped criminalize and domesticate
unruly natives. This is a story about the construction of
nature in southern India that is deeply local and
irreducibly global. Through detailed case studies, Kavita
Philip shows how race and nature are fundamental, to
understanding colonial modernities. Through its insightful
combination of methodologies from both the humanities and
the social sciences, Civilizing Natures complicates our
understandings of the relationships between science and
religion, pre-modern and civilized, environment and
society.
