Merchants, Politics and Society in Early Modern India by Kumkum Chatterjee

This monograph deals with the social and political context of com­mercial activity in early modern India – a period during which Eastern India (and Bihar) experienced the transition to British colonial rule. As a point of departure from existing scholarly literature that usually studies this transition in material terms, this volume uses an approach that takes into account the configuration of social relations and political con­nections within which, it argues, commercial activity was embedded.
Kumkum Chatterjee, Ph.D. (1989) in History, Calcutta University, is Assistant Professor of History at the Pennsylvania State University. The author of several journal articles, she has a broad research interest in the social and economic history of early modern India.
