Empire, the National, and the Postcolonial, 1890-1920: Resistance in Interaction - Softcover
This book explores the political co-operations and textual connections which linked anti-colonial, nationalist, and modernist groups and individuals in the British empire. Boehmer significantly questions prevailing postcolonial paradigms of the self-defining nation, syncretism and mimicry, and dismantles still-dominant binary definitions of the colonial relationship.

Review:
"This formidably well-researched and carefully documented book demonstrates the strengths of a complex comparative methodology in postcolonial studies."--The Yearbook of English Studies
"A timely work, and indeed part of a growing and welcome movement towards historicization in postcolonial studies.... Valuable in the way it foregrounds neglected texts, and suggests new possibilities for reading and novel critical perspectives on late-nineteenth and early twentieth-century literatures in English."--English Literature in Transition 1880-1920
"Stunning.... Boehmer's task is remarkably important: to produce a genealogy of anti-colonial resistance from the ground level at the height of British imperialism and trace with great precision the interactions 'between peripheries.'"--The Minnesota Review

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Empire, the National, and the Postcolonial, 1890-1920 explores the political co-operations and textual connections which linked anti-colonial, nationalist, and modernist groups and individuals in the empire in the years 1890-1920. By developing the key motifs of lateral interaction and colonial interdiscursivity, Boehmer builds a picture of the imperial world as an intricate network of surprising contacts and margin-to-margin interrelationships, and ofmodernism as a far more constellated cultural phenomenon than previously understood. Individual case studies consider Irish support for the Boers in 1899-1902, the path-breaking radical partnership of theEnglishwoman Sister Nivedita and the Bengali extremist Aurobindo Ghose, Sol Plaatje's conflicted South African nationalism, and the cross-border, cosmopolitan involvements of W. B. Yeats, Rabindranath Tagore, and Leonard Woolf. Underlining Frantz Fanon's perception that 'a colonized people is not alone', Boehmer significantly questions prevailing postcolonial paradigms of the self-defining nation, syncretism and mimicry, and dismantles still-dominant binary definitions of the colonialrelationship. Explores the political and textual interrelations which linked anti-colonialists, nationalists, and modernists in the years 1890-1920. This book focuses on both canonical and less well-known figures, and interconnecting Europe, India, and South Africa. It considers how resistance to domination and nationalist processes of 'making new' emerged. This item is printed on demand.
