Synopsis
Colonialism has had cultural effects that have too often been ignored or displaced onto the inexorable logics of modernization and world capitalism. The articles in this important volume explore the multifaced nature of colonialism and its cultural manifestations and treat the unspoken values, hidden assumptions, and buried connections out of which states are made and power is simultaneously exercised and thwarted. The contributors consider explorers’ accounts, missions and conversion, peasant resistance, torture, law, labor, and agriculture, among other issues, using examples that range from South America to Sumatra, from Africa to the Philippines, from India to the metropolitan centers of colonial rule. Colonialism and Culture provides new and important perspectives not only on colonialism, but also on the complex character of colonial history.

Soft cover. Etat : As New. 1st Edition. Unread book in excellent condition. Spine tight with no creases. Pages clean and unmarked. 'Colonialism and Culture', edited by Nicholas B. Dirks, is an insightful exploration of the intricate relationship between colonialism and cultural transformation. The book features contributions that reflect how colonialism reshaped cultural identities and expressions across the globe, and how it remains a potent force defining both historical and contemporary landscapes. Drawing on cases from different historical periods and geographic locations, the essays examine how colonial powers imposed and justified their dominance through cultural means?such as transforming local cultures into rigid categories of the "other." The impact of this cultural hegemony extended beyond the local to influence metropolitan societies, altering notions of race, nationality, and power even in the colonizers' homelands. Essays delve into various aspects such as the role of missionary work in the Philippines, peasant resistance in Southeast Asia, labor practices in colonial Kenya, and the conceptualization of time and development in colonial India. The work encourages a reconsideration of colonialism not just as a historical occurrence but as an active component in the configuration of modern cultural and social institutions. Engaging with the intersection of power and culture, the book challenges readers to rethink traditional narratives of empire and its legacy, offering new insights into the ongoing global implications of colonial structures.
