Discover information, advice, and prices for Effeminism The Economy of Colonial, priced at 47.61 $ : it belongs to the Books & Magazines category; this product is sold by Abebooks.com and made by .
Effeminism charts the flows of colonial desire in the works of British writers in India Working on the assumption that desire is intensely political historically constituted and materially determined the book shows how the inscriptions of masculinity in the fictions of Flora Annie Steel Rudyard Kipling and E M Forster are deeply implicated in the politics of colonial rule and anticolonial resistance At the same time the study refrains from representing colonialism as a coherent set of public events policies and practices whose social political and cultural meanings are selfevident Instead by tracing the resistant and unassailable modes of masculine desire in colonial fiction the study insists on an explosive revolutionary potential that makes desire often intractable And by restoring the political in the unconscious and the unconscious in the political the book proposes to understand colonialism in terms of historical failure ideological inadequacy and political contention This book will interest not only scholars of 19th and 20thcentury British literature and colonial and postcolonial literatures but also those working in the areas of cultural studies gender studies and South Asian studies Krishnaswamy uses effeminization to describe the complicated paths of colonial sexual desire stereotypes of Indian male passivity and how colonizing men used womanhood to delegitimize discredit and disempower colonized men Reading texts by Rudyard Kipling a culturally hybrid male E M Forster a homosexual and F A Steel a woman the author shows how these tactics affect the representation not only of colonized men and women but also of the marginalized writers of the colonizing culture In the process she makes intriguing analogies between androgyny and biculturalism Choice

Scarce multilingual paperback primarily in English vii 428 pages NOT exlibrary Clean bright untanned interior with unmarked text free of inscriptions and stamps firmly bound Covers shows dark handling marks some faint residue of a removed sticker a small bump in the lower spine corner of the rear panel Spine with bumps and horizontal creases to the upper and lower ends a touch of rubbing The essays presented here nearly all originally written for this volume by scholars from Latin America North America and Europe bring together much of the results of the rich research on the late colonial economies of both viceroyalties during the past fifteen years They allow a reevaluation of many old questions and open the vista to new ones Did mining function as a lead sector What effect did growing demand for agricultural commodities have on the social distribution of resources and benefits in the countryside Do Mexican and Peruvian processing industries have anything in common with European protoindustrialization during the eighteenth century and how can we account for their relative feebleness How did merchants adapt to the liberalized commercial environment after the 1770s What effect did the sweeping commercial and fiscal reforms of Spains Bourbon monarchs have on particular groups of producers and consumers in the colonies What emerges from this comparative approach is a better understanding not just of conjunctural but of structural differences between the economies and societies of Mexico and Peru
