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 of
modernism 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 the Englishwoman 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 colonial relationship.
