Ian J. Barrow. Making History, Drawing Territory: British Mapping in India, c.1756–1905. New York: Oxford University Press. 2003. Pp. xii, 212. Rs. 920.00.

This book is an interesting but frustrating attempt to trace the relationships among British cartography in India, the anxieties of empire, and the construction of British identity from the early attempts of the East India Company to annex territorial possessions to the era of "high" empire under Lord Curzon. More specifically, Ian J. Barrow seeks to show how different historical arguments were used to justify British possessions in India as the nature of the empire evolved, and how these arguments were both inscribed in and legitimated through maps.
