Recenzii

"Tropicopolitans is the most theoretically sophisticated study yet of colonialist texts in the eighteenth century." James Thompson, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and author of Modles of value: eighteenth-century political economy and the novel "Tropicopolitans might initiate a school of "tropicalization" studies. In the emerging field of what we have learned to name Black Atlantic writing, Aravamudan has made two substantial contributions in his chapters on Equiano and Toussaint Louverture, in which each figure is richly, contextually read. The wrenching from a Euro-Christian framework into a tropicalizing one opens up these figures to new critical investigations instead of merely freezing their heroic status for all time. Aravamudan's book should go some way toward helping us maintain our vigil against premature orthodoxies." Dona Landry, author of The muses of resistance: laboring class women's poetry in Britain, 1739-1796 "This book is an important synthesis of 18th-century and postcolonial studies."--Choice "In the place of the "monolithic underdog" of the subaltern silenced by colonial discourse, Aravamudan offers the articulate tropicopolitan who contests the language of domination... The readings of texts and contexts are rich and often provocative. Particularly rewarding is the chapter on Oroonoko ... An agile and theoretically sophisticated critic ... this book takes many gambles and is likely to excite and provoke those involved in post-colonial and eighteenth-century studies in equal measure. With the publication of Tropicopolitans, it is clear that the stakes have been raised."--TLS, May 19, 2000
