Content:
Based largely on new material, this book examines thuggee as a type of banditry, emerging in a specific socio-economic and geographic context. The British usually described the thugs as fanatic assassins and Kali-worshippers, yet Wagner argues that the history of thuggee need no longer be limited to the study of its representation
Note:
Based on the author's dissertation (Ph. D.--University of Cambridge, 2003) entitled: Thuggee and the construction of crime in early 19th century India
