Imperial White
Radhika Mohanram shows not just how British imperial culture shaped the colonies but how the imperial rule of colonies gave new meanings to what it meant to be British.

America in Britain's Place: A Polemic on not Being Anglo-Saxon
Although many analysts on the European continent use the term Anglo-Saxon to refer to a presumed close political association between Britain and the United States, the fact is that for more than a century the two countries competed for global influence. In fact, for well more than a century beginning at least early in the 19th century the United States regularly challenged Britain's global role — eventually replacing Britain as the dominant global power. In this competition, the United States adopted a brutally realist ‘power politics’ approach to Britain, while the latter focused on the challenge from another global contender, Germany. Today, when Britain's future role clearly lies with the European Union (EU) and the United States has entered upon a period of decline, Britain's role, and that of the EU, is to help the United States to move on so that it does not threaten values that are dear to Europe. Britain can play a role in this if it is acceptable, both within the framework of the EU and to the United States.

African Identities
This fascinating and well researched study explores the meaning generated by 'Africa' and 'Blackness' throughout the century. Using literary texts, autobiography, ethnography, and historical documents, African Identities discusses how ideas of Africa as an origin, as a cultural whole, or as a complicated political problematic, emerge as signifiers for analysis of modernity, nationhood and racial difference. Kanneh provides detailed readings of a range of literary texts, including novels by:
Toni Morrison
Alice Walker
Gloria Naylor
Ngugi Wa Thiong'o
Chinua Achebe
V.S. Naipaul
For anyone interested in literature, history, anthropology, political writing, feminist or cultural analysis, this book opens up new areas of thought across disciplines.
