Animal Kingdoms

Julie E. Hughes

“A first-rate book—lucid in style and meticulous in research. A major contribution to the worlds of princely India and environmental history. Hughes skillfully weaves the use of archival sources, memoirs, and visual images to bring to light little-explored dimensions of the encounters of princes and their quarry, with the British and their increasingly restive subjects.”—Mahesh Rangarajan, Director, Nehru Memorial Museum and Library, and Professor in Modern Indian History, University of Delhi

“This admirable and well-written study of hunting and elite identity in north Indian princely states in the later nineteenth and early twentieth century is a welcome addition to social and environmental history of this period.”—Kalyanakrishnan Sivaramakrishnan, Professor of Anthropology and of Forestry and Environmental Studies, Yale University
