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. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 19th century|2fast 648 7 1800 - 1899|2fast 650 0 Science|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85118553|zIndia, South|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85064957-781|xHistory|y19th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006167 650 0 Science|xSocial aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85118585|zIndia, South|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85064957-781|xHistory|y19th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2002006167 650 7 Science.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1108176 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Science|xSocial aspects.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1108360 651 7 South India.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1692635 653 Andre fag (naturvidenskab og teknik)|aAndre fag 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aPhilip, Kavita, 1964-|tCivilizing natures.|dNew Brunswick, N.J. : Rutgers University Press, ©2004|z0813533600|z0813533619|w(DLC) 2003005675 |w(OCoLC)51867943 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=107157|zOnline eBook.
