The Nation and Its Fragments: Colonial and Postcolonial Histories: 4 (Princeton Studies in Culture/Power/History)

Thoughtful, erudite, relevant for broader contexts, including the radical Islamic emergence in response to western multinational psedo-colonialism. Good read.

this is a classic read, and important for scholars of colonialism to read. However the theory and methods are a bit outdated now, and this book should be seen as an artifact of it's period, and not as a model for fresh research. Very dense and academic.
