Wilson bases her analysis on a wide range of case studies drawn both from Britain and across the Atlantic and Pacific worlds. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCreating a colourful and original colonial landscape, she considers topics such as: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e* sodomy\u003cbr\u003e* theatre\u003cbr\u003e* masculinity\u003cbr\u003e* the symbolism of Britannia \u003cbr\u003e* the role of women in war.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWilson shows the far-reaching implications that colonial power and expansion had upon the English people's sense of self, and argues that the vaunted singularity of English culture was in fact constituted by the bodies, practices and exchanges of peoples across the globe. Theoretically rigorous and highly readable, \u003cem\u003eThe Island Race\u003c\/em\u003e will become a seminal text for understanding the pressing issues that it confronts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kathleen Wilson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415158966\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415158961\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/03\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 298\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.32h x 6.18w x 0.57d","brand":"Kathleen Wilson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46334410260735,"sku":"9780415158961","price":51.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fc9148f8-65dc-4b5b-bbb4-dde49b8f4404.jpg?v=1731466761","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-island-race-kathleen-wilson-9780415158961","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
