How has it changed over time? How does it continue to operate in today’s world? Most people recognize the language of binaries birthed by the two-worlds trope—savage and civilized, East and West, primitive and modern. For more than four centuries, this lexicon has served as a grammar for settler colonialism. While many scholars have chastised this type of terminology in recent years, the power behind these words persists. With imagination and a critical evaluation of how language, politics, economics, and culture all influence the expectations that we place on one another, the contributors to this volume rethink the two-worlds trope, adding considerably to our understanding of the past and present.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Redeye Music Distribution","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47094060679408,"sku":"0659457245313","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/0659457245313_p0.jpg?v=1763515002","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/0659457245313","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
