Spanning time and space from late Victorian Britain and Ireland to
postwar America and Latin America, Late Imperial Culture maps
crucial regions in the terrain of imperial cultural practices
including theater, film, photography, fiction, autobiography, and
body art. The forms reviewed in this lively collection range from
those which accept and reproduce empire's dominant self-images to
scathing critiques of the oppressions that colonialism has visited
upon its subjects and the price it continues to exact from them. A
diverse range of theoretically sophisticated and historically
informed contributors take as given two fundamental facts about the
culture of imperialism: firstly, that it has a long and complex
history which, in the present epoch, merits its being designated
"late"; and, secondly, that its impact on the contemporary world is
far from exhausted. Together they highlight the contradictions in
the serried cultural practices of imperialism in its different
historical periods. Contributors: Aijaz Ahmad, Steven Cagan, Roman
de la Campa, David Glover, May Joseph, Caren Kaplan, Rob Nixon,
Ella Shohat, Robert Stam, and Marianna Torgovnick.
