Table of ContentsReviewsNico Slate's game-changing book on India and the United States invites us to probe anew the meanings of freedom and democracy. Elegantly traversing the boundaries of comparative, transnational, and cultural history, Lord Cornwallis Is Dead is sure to attract a wide range of readers from different disciplines.--Sandhya Shukla, author of India Abroad: Diasporic Cultures of Postwar America and England For most of their histories, India and the United States have been distant lands. And yet, these two countries--both subcontinental in size, both colonized by Britain, both struggling to achieve the promise of democracy--have gazed at each other from afar, entranced by their family resemblance. Nico Slate tells the fascinating, delightful tale of these separated siblings, one that begins with Indians meeting 'Indians' and ends with civil disobedience and California yoga studios.--Daniel Immerwahr, author of Thinking Small: The United States and the Lure of Community Development For most of their histories, India and the United States have been distant lands.
