Far from being marked by a separation from the racialised thinking of the past, Colonial Desire shows we are operating in complicity with historical ways of viewing 'the other', both sexually and racially.Colonial Desire is a controversial and bracing study of the history of Englishness and 'culture'. Robert Young argues that the theories advanced today about post-colonialism and ethnicity are disturbingly close to the colonial discourse of the nineteenth century. 'Englishness', Young argues, has been less fixed and stable than uncertain, fissured with difference and a desire for otherness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539611713824,"sku":"NEW0415053749","price":56.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71ASVJdffbL.jpg?v=1777496485","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/colonial-desire-0415053749","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
