In this imaginative book, Maya Jasanoff uncovers the

extraordinary stories of collectors who lived on the frontiers of

the British Empire in India and Egypt, tracing their exploits to

tell an intimate history of imperialism. Jasanoff delves beneath

the grand narratives of power, exploitation, and resistance to look

at the British Empire through the eyes of the people caught up in

it. Written and researched on four continents, Edge of

Empire enters a world where people lived, loved, mingled, and

identified with one another in ways richer and more complex than

previous accounts have led us to believe were possible. And as this

book demonstrates, traces of that world remain tangible—and

topical—today. An innovative, persuasive, and provocative work of

history.

"Spirited, teeming. . . . Jasanoff wants us to rethink the

imperial experience."  –The New York Times"Astute and

moving. . . . As original--and beautifully written—as it is

compelling to read.” –The New York Sun“A historical tour de

force, with wonderfully original and unusual material moulded into

a convincing new narrative. Britain’s empire will never look the

same again.”–The Guardian"Instead of concentrating on the

18th-and 19th-century European empire builders. . . . Jasanoff

focuses on several ambitious, energetic, and eccentric men who used

the East as a way to reinvent themselves....a fascinating and

untold story." –The Boston Globe
