But it also does much more than that. It offers original, often contentious ideas on many aspects of this huge field. It is a balanced overview, but unafraid of venturing into controversy where needed. The relevant intellectual worlds have often been seen as sharply divided between historians and social scientists on one hand, literary and cultural theorists on the other. Young’s work brilliantly shows how these separate spheres can be brought together.”—\u003ci\u003eStephen Howe, University of Bristol\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e“Robert Young’s new book develops a lucid and powerful understanding of the postcolonial as affiliated with other sites of a general struggle for justice, including gender, class, and the environment.
