Description

This Routledge academic work explores how English masculinity negotiated the decline of the British imperial project through the twentieth century. The study argues that by defining itself against indigenous masculinity, English identity began to share common ground with its colonial counterpart. Examining the rhetoric of indigenous masculinity as it both mimicked and departed from metropolitan versions, the book takes an interdisciplinary approach across multiple colonial societies. It combines literary analysis with cultural theory to trace how masculinity shifted as imperial authority weakened, offering fresh insights into the relationship between coloniser and colonised through gender perspectives. Essential reading for scholars of postcolonial studies, British cultural history, and literary criticism interested in how identity crises manifested during empire's dissolution.

Key Features

Routledge publication offering interdisciplinary analysis of English and indigenous masculinity during imperial decline.

Traces how colonial male identity negotiated the dissolution of the British empire by mid-twentieth century.

Examines multiple colonial societies rather than focusing on a single region or historical context.

Combines literary criticism with cultural theory to analyse rhetoric and identity formation in colonial contexts.

Explores the shared idiom between English and indigenous masculinities as empires weakened and cultures intersected.
