Negotiating the Modern: Orientalism and Indianness in the Anglophone World - Literary Criticism and Cultural Theory 1st edition
Ray, Amit (Amit Ray, Rochester Institute of Technology, USA)
Tracing the varying fortunes of Orientalist scholars from the inception of British rule, this study charts the work of key Indologists in the colonial era. The rhetorical constructions of East and West deployed by both colonizer and colonized, as well as attempts to synthesize or transcend such constructions, became crucial to conceptions of the ‘modern’.
