This book articles presents new scholarship on the subject of
imperial expansion through colonization and globalization from a
variety of postcolonial perspectives. The essays in this volume,
grouped in three chapters, scrutinize imperial expansion within the
context of national identities and imageries-deconstructing the
modernist and utopian idea of a nation as a site of homogeneity,
and reviewing the importance of the concept in the different phases
of colonization. Hence the first chapter is entitled 'Neo-Imperial
Traces or Premonitions in Modernism.' The post-classical phase of
colonialism is examined through the representation of the colonized
and the once-colonized. Applying postcolonial theories and often
moving beyond them, scholars scrutinize such textual and filmic
representations as exemplified in Asia. These make up Chapter Two,
'Interference of the Imperial Tradition in Asia, ' which allows for
the re-articulations of cultural heritage in the region within the
different and ever renewed schemes of imperial expansion. Chapter
Three, 'Reformulations of the Imperial Project, ' seeks to explore
the questions surrounding inclusion in and exclusion from the realm
of power as the founding principle of empire, suggesting that they
are discursive and deliberate. Postcolonial societies inherit the
trauma of colonialism that subjected people to a cultural
displacement that is exacerbated by renewed efforts of imperial
influence through globalizatio
E. coli serotype O157: H7 is a rare variety of E. coli, a normal
inhabitant of the intestines of all animals, including humans. The
pathogen produces large quantities of one or more related potent
toxins, called Shiga toxins, which cause severe damage to the
lining of the intestine and to other target organs, such as the
kidneys. E. coli O157: H7 was first recognized as a cause of
illness in 1982 during an outbreak of severe bloody diarrhea that
was later traced to contaminated hamburgers. It has since been
implicated in a number of outbreaks of intestinal distress. The
most severe outcome in the general population is typically
hemorrhagic colitis, a prominent symptom of which is bloody
diarrhea. Some victims, particularly the very young, may develop
hemolytic uremic syndrome. Eating meat, particularly ground beef,
that has not been cooked sufficiently to kill E. coli O157: H7 is
thought to be the primary cause of infection. Among other known
sources of infection are consumption of contaminated sprouts,
lettuce, salami, and unpasteurized milk and fruit juice; swimming
in or drinking contaminated water; and contact with the stools of
infected animals or people
