Table of ContentsReviewsThe Rhetoric of Empire is a richly eclectic, innovative study. It should appeal to a considerable cross-section of scholars and students and gain recognition as a significant intervention in colonial studies. --Rob Nixon, Columbia University Spurr is excellent at showing how current western journalistic reports from what used to be called the 'Third World' are inheritors of, and more often than not complicit with, the most manifestly chauvinistic, racist, and triumphalist colonial writing on 'the white man's burden. . . . Spurr is also adept at illustrating how western systems of classification--whether of political forms or of racial characteristics--continue to inform 'Third World' debates, and how a stance of exasperation and an interest in the degradations of 'native' life, can continue to play into stereotypes coined by Victorian invaders. . . . [D]eeply worthwhile, thorough and even impassioned intervention in the archeological work of uncovering further variations and strategies in the copious archive of imperialist discursivity. <br>--Enda Duffy, Ariel: A Review of International English Literature Author InformationTab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
