Description: Imperial White : Race, Diaspora, and the British Empire, Paperback by Mohanram, Radhika, ISBN 0816647801, ISBN-13 9780816647804, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Mohanram (postcolonial culture studies, Cardiff U.) examines this and a host of other questions about how Britishness, and therefore whiteness, informed colonial culture and vice versa. Relying on literary, social and cultural texts, she examines how whiteness was incorporated into gender and sexuality, race and class, finding that whiteness became essential to the relationship between Britain and its colonies, and develops a new perspective on white diaspora. She examines white masculinity and femininity, the history of white sexuality, the issue of race as it evolved in Australia, the negative effects of whiteness, and the process by which the Irish became white in India. The result, which explains much about the tenuous relation between Britain and its colonies and completely re-reads the effects of imperialism, may mark the beginning of study of the white diaspora.
