Hello everyone, thanks a lot for taking the time to read some of the materials from my book manuscript, Corporate Ethnography and Cultural Encounter: The Dutch and English East India Companies in Seventeenth-Century South Asia. The book is accepted for publication by Brill subject to revisions, which I've carried out over the summer. I'm now close to submitting the final version to the series editor, so any further changes I'm looking to make will (hopefully) be fairly minor, although if you spot any major problems then do of course let me know. The sections I'm attaching are the introduction and conclusion. Feel free to read just one section or however much you've time to go through in which I know is a very busy time!

All best wishes,
Guido
