It addresses the value of  fiction to an inderstanding of the imperial relationship between the  West and Asia and Africa. A wide range of fiction and crisicism is  examined as it pertains to colonialism, the North\/South engagement and  contemporary Third World politics. The book begins by contrasting the  treatment of cross-cultural relations in political studies and literary  texts. It then examines the personal as a metaphor for the political in  fiction depicting the imperial connection between Britain and India.  This is paired with an analysis of African literary texts, which takes  as its theme the relationship between culture and politics. The  concluding chapters approach literature from the outside, considering  its apparent silence on economics and realpolitik and assessing the  utility of postcolonial reconceptualisations\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003ePhillip Darby is Reader in International Relations, University of  Melbourne and Co-Director of the Institute of Postcolonial Studies,  Melbourne, Australia.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31 May 1998\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eContinuum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780304701599\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e260\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13.12\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51370506485900,"sku":"9780304701599","price":53.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780304701599","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
