Beschreibung:
Contemporary "mixed-race" populations--descendants of the offspring of sexual unions involving European men and local women--invite serious scholarly attention because they challenge notions of a rigid divide between colonizer and colonized and beg a host of questions about continuities and transformations in the postcolonial world. This book concerns one such group, the Eurasians of India.
