The fascination with exotic cultures and the crossing of cultural
boundaries provides some of the most striking ways in which a
colonizing culture articulates its self-identity and asserts its
authority. This book examines the representational dynamics of
colonizer versus colonized in Henry Rider Haggard's and Rudyard
Kipling's African and Indian writing, exploring the interface
between the native "other" as reflection and as a point of address.
The author employs recent thinking in psychoanalysis, anthropology
and colonial discourse to analyze the manner in which fantasy and
fabulation is caught up in networks of desire and power. She
focuses on the early fictional and travel writing of Haggard and
Kipling. Close friends as well as prominent figures of imperial and
colonial myth-making, Haggard and Kipling were praised for their
presumed knowledge of and alleged ability to speak from within the
native cultures of Africa and India. Their fiction attests to a
persistent fascination with the visual image of the other in the
imaginative reconstruction of costume and body-image.
