Nabobs: Empire and Identity in Eighteenth-Century Britain
Nechtman, Tillman W. (Skidmore College, New York)
In this book, Tillman Nechtman considers 'nabobs', a term used by domestic critics when referring to East India Company employees, who caused controversy in returning to Britain by bringing elements of the subcontinent's culture with them, thereby igniting the debate regarding British identity and British imperialism in the late eighteenth century.
