Mary Doreen Wainwright’s 1970 hardcover, The Partition Of India Policies And Perspectives 1935-1947, dissects the decade of decisions that split the sub-continent. This collectible M.I.T. Press edition still wears its original dust jacket and arrives from a smoke-free home.
Inside, pages are crisp, unmarked, and tightly bound; the front end-paper carries a discreet stamp and personalised sticker, evidence of its unique provenance. No dog-ears, tears, or annotations interrupt the text, making the copy both reader-friendly and shelf-worthy.
Scholars of South Asian history, colonial policy, and cultural studies prize Wainwright’s balanced, archive-based narrative. The 1970 printing is increasingly scarce, especially in this well-preserved condition.
