Western Women and Imperialism by Nupur Chaudhuri

Western Women and Imperialism by Nupur Chaudhuri

Explores what Western women did, thought, and felt in and about the colonies in Africa and India, areas that have been presented, both at the time and in subsequent scholarship, as 'no place for a white woman'. This title analyzes Western women's complicity in the cultural values dominant during an imperialist era.

"Western Women and Imperialism provides fascinating insights into interactions and attitudes between western and non-western women, mainly in the 19th and early 20th centuriesIt is an important contribution to the field of women's studies and (primarily British) imperial history, in that many of the essays explore problems of cross-cultural interaction that have been heretofore ignored." Nancy Fix Anderson "A challenging anthology in which a multiplicity of authors sheds new light on the waves of missionaries, 'memsahibs,' nurses - and feminists." Ms. "... a long-overdue engagement with colonial discourse and feminism... excellent essays ..." The Year's Work in Critical Cultural Theory
