The Economic History of India 1857–1947. By Tirthankar Roy. New Delhi: Oxford University Press India, 2001. Pp. xvi, 318. £16.99.
本书是剑桥印度经济史第二卷的简编版，为印度大学必修课提供关于殖民时期印度经济史的教材，总结了经济史学家最新研究成果。
As Tirthankar Roy explains in his preface, this book “aims to be no more than an updated and shorter version of the Cambridge Economic History of India, Vol. II ” (henceforth CEHI ), one that will provide an accessible textbook on the economic history of colonial India for the compulsory course in the subject in most Indian universities. In this task he has been successful. Instead of ploughing through the detailed chapters of the otherwise indispensable CEHI , students—and their teachers—now have a useful educational aid which summarizes the latest research by economic historians of India.
