Using a variety of archival resources and equally diverse methodologies, the authors trace modernity's unstable foundations in the slippages and ruptures of colonial gender and sexual politics. As a whole, the essays illustrate that modern colonial regimes are never self-evidently hegemonic, but are always in process - subject to disruption and contest - and never finally accomplished; and are therefore unfinished business.Routledge research in gender and history ;2.WomenHistoryImperialismHistoryGreat BritainColoniesHistoryWomenHistory.ImperialismHistory.305.309305.4Burton Antoinette M.1961-920758MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910816935703321Gender, sexuality, and colonial modernities4093490UNINA
