Book excerpt: As part of her continuing study of minorities in Britain before World War II, Lahiri (Queen Mary and Westfield College, London) analyzes the nature and impact of the Indian presence and the British reactions to their growing number. Focusing especially on students, she shows that public fears about instability in India encouraged the government to restrict the number of Indian students and control their political activities. Their resistance, she says, shows how an elite group from dependent colony can appropriate ideas and institutions to its own purpose. Distributed in the US by ISBS.
