Frederic Cooper was Deputy Commissioner of Amritsar district during 1857 first war of Indian independence and in this book published within a year of the upsurge; he recollects the events in Punjab and Delhi from British colonial ruler’s angle. Yet his account underlines certain facts, which shows the brutalities and cruelties of British colonial regime. inom read this book in context of Ajnala happenings on 30th July-1st August 1857, where 157 years after this event, people of the village have dug up the well, where 282 Indian rebels’ bodies were dumped after killing them brutally. The book is dedicated to brutal British officers and apart from Preface includes nine chapters and many appendices.

I am beginning the readings in year 2014 with this first book of the year. After joining in Ce • Global Easts • François Richard Historical Archaeology, 2019 Histories of cash-crop agriculture in Senegal's peanut basin have foregrounded the sway of market forces-an economic story of supply and demand staging metropolitan industrial needs, commercial entrepreneur-ialism, and profitable returns with both planned and unplanned developments. The political connivance between commercial crops and French rule is also well documented. The relentless expansion of peanut cultivation in Senegal's hinterland was promoted by colonial policies and collusions between the French administration and Muslim brotherhoods. African farmers were not idle bystanders to these transformations, as peasant social strategies were centrally implicated in the (re)construction of colonial countrysides.
