Can a book change the world? If books were integral to the creation
of the imperial global order, what role have they played in
resisting that order throughout the twentieth century? To what
extent have theories and movements of anti-imperial and
anticolonial resistance across the planet been shaped by books as
they are read across the world? This updated edition of Fighting
Words responds to these questions by examining how the book as a
cultural form has fuelled resistance to empire in the long
twentieth century. Through fifteen case studies that bring together
literary, historical and book historical perspectives, this
collection explores the ways in which books have circulated
anti-imperial ideas, as they themselves have circulated as objects
and commodities within regional, national and transnational
networks. What emerges is a complex portrait of the vital and
multifaceted role played by the book in both the formation and the
form of anticolonial resistance, and the development of the
postcolonial world.
