Colonial Desire : Hybridity in Theory, Culture and Race Hardback
by Robert J. C. Young
Hardback
Description
The language of contemporary cultural theory shows remarkable similarities with the patterns of thought which characterised Victorian racial theory.
Far from being marked by a separation from the racialised thinking of the past, Colonial Desire shows we are operating in complicity with historical ways of viewing 'the other', both sexually and racially. Colonial Desire is a controversial and bracing study of the history of Englishness and 'culture'.
Robert Young argues that the theories advanced today about post-colonialism and ethnicity are disturbingly close to the colonial discourse of the nineteenth century. 'Englishness', Young argues, has been less fixed and stable than uncertain, fissured with difference and a desire for otherness.
