YOUNG. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780415053747.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe language of contemporary cultural theory shows remarkable similarities with the patterns of thought which characterised Victorian racial theory. Far from being marked by a separation from the racialised thinking of the past, Colonial Desire shows we are operating in complicity with historical ways of viewing the other, both sexually and racially.\n\nColonial Desire is a controversial and bracing study of the history of Englishness and culture. Robert Young argues that the theories advanced today about post-colonialism and ethnicity are disturbingly close to the colonial discourse of the nineteenth century. Englishness, Young argues, has been less fixed and stable than uncertain, fissured with difference and a desire for otherness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44976552837173,"sku":"ByrdShop_0415053749","price":32.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780415053747_ef1c03b3-c182-499b-81df-a9425f8644e8.jpg?v=1778715219","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/colonial-desire-9780415053747","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
