"… There are no easy or automatic breakthroughs; rather, the novel follows the subtle intricacies of emotional free play, theinternal currency of what it is to be a human in any part of the world."
Monica Ali, October 20, 2003 The Nation. 25

 

****

  • Imperialism was driven by ideology from a metropolitan centre; expansion of state power
  • Colonialism was pragmatic, developed locally in a haphazard way
  • Colonialism functioned as an activity on the periphery;
  • Imperialism operated from the centre as a policy state, driven by projects of power
  • Colonialism must be analysed as a practice: or many different forms of practises with respect to radically different cultures, over many different countries
  • Imperialism costitutes a global political system
