Reviews
With clarity and economy, a broad vista of political, socio-cultural and geographical factors are viewed, combining perspectives on the imperial source material with the critiques offered by postcolonial reassessments -- aesthetic and ethical. Brantlinger's longstanding scholarly expertise in this area is adroitly condensed into a mere 180 pages ... this concise yet considerable scope is the work's strength and should see it become a necessary guide to an almost unmanageably complex area.
