Book Summary
Among the legacies of the colonial encounter are any number of contemporary
'mixed-race' populations, descendants of the offspring of sexual unions
involving European men (colonial officials, traders, etc.) and local women.
These groups invite serious scholarly attention because they not only challenge
notions of a rigid divide between colonizer and colonized, but beg a host of

book concerns one such group, the Eurasians of India, or Anglo-Indians as they

contemporary lives as these relate both to the colonial past and to conditions
in the present. In particular,
