Servants of the Empire: The Irish in Punjab, 1881-1921
ISBN: 9780719083853 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Punjab, 'the pride of British India', attracted the cream of the Indian Civil Service, many of the most influential of whom were Irish.

Delving into feminist and anti-racist histories, Verges also...
