Reviews
“This is a thoroughly admirable book, marked by a depth of research, occupying a hitherto dimly lit crossroads of imperial and media history, and illuminating each.” (Robert E. Upton, 20th Century British History, Vol. 28 (4), December, 2017)
“This book provides important linkages between the political and historical processes of the empire and colonialism as well as a contemporary study of the impact of communication, news media and globalisation. It will be of value to those with interests in Modern Indian history and politics and communications in world history.” (Romero D’Souza, Media International Australia, Vol. 165 (1), 2017)
“All five of Professor Kaul’s essays are interesting and with this book she will have done much to shore up her reputation as one of Britain’s leading interpreters of the media. … Communications, Media and the Imperial Experience is likely to remain a standard work for many years to come.” (Joel H. Wiener, Journalism Studies, Vol. 16 (5), 2015)
“The major achievement of this book is in the way it integrates imperial and media history to generate an understanding of empire as a ‘media environment’. … provides a new and important perspective on M. K. Gandhi’s relations with the American press. … a meticulously researched, original and important contribution to the media history of the British Empire.” (Peter Putnis, Media History, Vol. 21 (4), October, 2015)
"This book is a nice piece of media history of the British Empire's 'peripetia' starting at the Empire's heyday shortly before the First World or Great War and ending with British India's independence shortly after the Second World War. With its meticulous source analysis and the variety of sources on British India's and the Empire's perception in Britain and the US, the monograph hints at a desideratum, namely the perception of British rule in South Asia according to English newspapers owned by Indians and local language newspapers." - HistLit (Professor Michael Mann, University of Berlin, 2015)
"Kaul's essays usefully integrate Indian history with media history, and will be read profitably by those working in both fields. She makes a significant contribution to the wider recent attempt by historians to write the mass media into 'mainstream' histories, rather than treat it as a subject for separate study." - The Round Table (Dr Simon Potter, University of Bristol, 2015)
