{"product_id":"9780791483725","title":"Postcolonial Whiteness: A Critical Reader on Race and Empire","description":"Postcolonial Whiteness examines the interrelations between whiteness and the history of European colonialism, as well as the status of whiteness in the contemporary postcolonial world. It addresses two fundamental questions: What happens to whiteness after empire, and to what extent do white cultural norms or imperatives remain embedded in the postcolonial or postindependence state as a part-acknowledged or not-of the colonial legacy? Presenting a wide range of critical and theoretical responses, the contributors explore these questions by focusing on such diverse topics as the legacy of Princess Diana; queer self-expression; the changing situation of Gypsy, or Romani, minorities in Eastern Europe; literature, including Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, Caryl Phillips's Cambridge, and Gothic impact on the literature of Australia; reconstruction of white South African social identity; cross-cultural discussions of mental illness; Freud's case history of the Wolfman; and Australia's national anthems.","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47123265782000,"sku":"9780791483725","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780791483725_p0.jpg?v=1763728382","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780791483725","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
