"Rather than study the geographical area denoted by that word, it focuses on the figures of "India" and "the East" in sixteenth and seventeenth cetnruy European thought. By analyzing how these figures functioned, Framing India sketches the emergence of a European colonial imaginary: ways of thinking, acting, and representing patterns of behavior that made India productive (in all senses of the word) for early modern Europe." ; 389 pages.
