In this highly exciting re-reading of the classic works of Haggard and Kipling, Gail Ching-Liang Low explores how the colonialised Other is a mirror reflecting the images of the coloniser - 'a cultural cross-dressing.'
In this exciting re-reading of the classic work of Haggard and Kipling, Gail Ching-Liang Low examines the representational dynamics of colonizer versus colonized. Exploring the interface between the native ''other'' as a reflection and as a point of address, the author asserts that this ''other'' is a mirror reflecting the image of the colonizer - a ''cultural cross-dressing''.
Employing psychoanalysis, anthropology and postcolonial theory, Low analyzes the way in which fantasy and fabulation are caught up in networks of desire and power. White Skins/Black Masks is a fascinating entry into the current debate of post-colonial theory.
