Description

Colonial Desire presents a provocative examination of how contemporary cultural theory mirrors Victorian racial thinking patterns. Robert Young argues that modern post-colonial and ethnicity theories dangerously echo colonial discourse, revealing an uncomfortable continuity rather than separation from racialised ways of understanding 'the other'. This bracing study traces the history of Englishness and culture, exposing how current academic frameworks remain complicit with historical patterns of sexual and racial othering. Young challenges scholars and theorists to confront the disturbing parallels between past and present intellectual traditions, making this essential reading for anyone studying post-colonialism, cultural history, or the legacies of empire in contemporary thought.

Key Features

Routledge publication offering critical analysis of post-colonial theory and its roots in Victorian racial discourse.

Examines the continuity between historical racialised thinking and modern cultural theory frameworks.

Explores concepts of hybridity, ethnicity and how contemporary scholars engage with colonial-era patterns of thought.

Robert Young's controversial argument that current post-colonial discourse echoes rather than escapes colonial language.

Essential resource for anthropology, sociology and cultural studies students examining race and Englishness in academic tradition.
