Opis

The past decade has witnessed much research and writing on the cultural legacies of European imperialism. This collection of essays is a work of criticism on the cultures of imperialism. Fundamental to the editors' conceptualization is the premise that while colonialism may be a thing of the past for the majority of the world's people, its legacies in political, economic and ideological structures continue to shape the world. Ranging in space and time, from late-Victorian Britain and Ireland to the post-war US and Latin America, these essays map crucial regions in the terrain of cultural practices in theatre, film, photography, novels, autobiography and body art.
