/
These ten essays on many aspects of
Indian history and culture have beei\
gathered to honor Edward Cameron
Dimock, Jr., on the occasion of his
retirement from the presidency of the
American Institute of Indian Studies.
They cover many fields of current
scholarship on South Asia and may
serve, perhaps, as a representation of
the vitality of studies in a field in
which Ed Dimock has been a leader
and teacher for several decades.
