Produktinformationen zu „Colonial Voices (ePub)“
This accessible cultural history explores 400 years of British
imperial adventure in India, developing a coherent narrative
through a wide range of colonial documents, from exhibition
catalogues to memoirs and travelogues. It shows how these texts
helped legitimize the moral ambiguities of colonial rule even as
they helped the English fashion themselves.
* An engaging examination of European colonizers'
representations of native populations
* Analyzes colonial discourse through an impressive range of
primary sources, including memoirs, letters, exhibition catalogues,
administrative reports, and travelogues
* Surveys 400 years of India's history, from the 16th
century to the end of the British Empire
* Demonstrates how colonial discourses naturalized the racial and
cultural differences between the English and the Indians, and
controlled anxieties over these differences
