Hardback. Condition: New. Empire and race have become the most discussed - and most problematic - subjects in political and historical discourse. It is now an unquestionable orthodoxy both in academia and in progressive political discourse that European colonial empires - particularly the British - were uniquely evil, the West's 'original sin', and that their legacy continues to underpin systemic racism, injustice, and oppression.Marie Kawthar Daouda, a Moroccan and French academic who now lives in Britain, argues that this narrative is dangerously wrong. Weaving her personal experience with erudite reflection on history, literature, and politics, she argues that we are all heirs of complex waves of immigration, conquest, and colonization. A closer look at French and British history belies a simplistic worldview wherein all the evil in the world is the result of the peculiarly vicious nature of white, Western colonizers. Indeed, she argues, such a perspective nurtures the very prejudices it claims to fight by valorizing victimhood above individual or collective agency and by denying ethnic minorities any sense of responsibility.A coruscating attack on the perverse solipsism, moral blindness, and historical illiteracy of 'decolonizing' progressive elites, this book upends our tired debates over colonialism, empire, and immigration. It offers a more nuanced, hopeful vision of our historical self-understanding. …

Paperback. Condition: New. En France comme en Grande-Bretagne, la fin du XIXe siècle semble hantée par les formes destructrices ou malveillantes de la féminité, que la figure de Salomé incarne d'une manière omniprésente et contradictoire. La danseuse fatale ne peut pourtant se comprendre que comme l'image inversée d'une féminité bienveillante et édifiante qui favorise, par son aptitude au sacrifice, le passage d'une ère à l'autre.L'auteur montre comment, sous la plume de Jean Lorrain, de Marie Corelli, de Henry Rider-Haggard ou de Renée Vivien, des silhouettes mythologiques, bibliques, typiques ou historiques invitent à nuancer l'omniprésence de la femme fatale dans le second dix-neuvième siècle et à interroger la notion même de fatalité. Alors que le XIXe siècle touche à sa fin, les représentations de la féminité bienveillante sont convoquées pour donner corps à des désirs symétriques, parfois inquiétants de similitude, à ceux incarnés par la hantise saloméenne.Dans cet ouvrage, la Vierge Marie, Ève, Lilith, l'androgyne, la religieuse, Jeanne d'Arc, Marie-Madeleine, Sapho ou encore Hypatie sont étudiées de manière à désenclaver la Décadence de ses ornières thématiques. Au miroir de la féminité bienveillante, la fin de siècle des héritiers de Baudelaire et du Cardinal Newman est ici étudiée comme une période de transition où s'exerce une tension entre fascination pour la chute et rêve de construction.…
