Strahorn (South Asian and world history, Florida Gulf Coast U.) examines the environmental history of the Terai region of the Indian states of Uttar Pradesh and Uttaranchal in the independence era. He focuses on questions of agricultural colonization, wildlife conservation, and disease control as he traces how the Terai was transformed from a land of swamps, forests, and grasslands, home to tigers and malarial mosquitoes, into a normalized landscape differing little from the rest of India in terms of public health, wildlife conservation, and agriculture.
