Durham, NC: Duke University Press, 1996. x, 286 pages; 23 cm. Post-Contemporary Interventions Series. Near fine. Tight, clean copy. Light edgewear to wraps. "Moving across academic disciplines, geographical boundaries, and literary genres, Home and Harem examines how travel shaped ideas about culture and nation in nineteenth-century imperialist England and colonial India. Inderpal Grewal's study of the narratives and discourses of travel reveals the ways in which the colonial encounter created linked yet distinct constructs of nation and gender and explores the impact of this encounter on both English and Indian men and women. Reworking colonial discourse studies to include both sides of the colonial divide, this work is also the first." - Publisher.
