About the work

Thuggee Banditry and the British in Early Nineteen (ISBN 9780230547179) is a rigorous inquiry into the intersection of criminal networks and colonial power, tracing how organized thuggery shaped governance, law, and policy during a transformative era of British imperial expansion.

Summary

Kim A. Wagner examines the social, political, and criminological frameworks surrounding the Thuggee phenomenon, juxtaposing indigenous actors with British administrative responses. The work surveys archival records, court proceedings, and field observations to illuminate how fear, myth, and state-building intersected in campaigns against banditry. It offers a nuanced narrative that moves beyond sensational depictions to reveal the complexities of loyalty, resistance, and adaptation within colonial landscapes.

About the author

Kim A. Wagner is a distinguished scholar of imperial history and South Asian studies, renowned for his meticulous archival research and compelling narrative style. With a focus on British colonial policing, criminal networks, and the social dimensions of empire, Wagner situates Thuggee within broader questions of sovereignty, memory, and historiography. His work combines methodological rigor with accessible prose, making intricate historical debates approachable to both specialists and general readers.

In brief

The book offers a richly detailed reconstruction of how a clandestine criminal system influenced British strategies of control and public perception in early nineteenth-century India.
