Empire, the National, and the Postcolonial, 1890-1920

The exploration of political collaborations and textual ties among anti-colonial, nationalist, and modernist movements within the British Empire is central to this work. The author challenges established postcolonial theories regarding national identity, syncretism, and mimicry, offering a critical examination of the binary definitions that have traditionally framed colonial relationships. Through this analysis, the book seeks to provide a deeper understanding of the complexities within these interconnected movements.
