In this ground-breaking interdisciplinary study of terrorism, insurgency and the literature of colonial India, Alex Tickell re-envisages the political aesthetics of empire. Organized around key crisis moments in the history of British colonial rule such as the 'Black Hole' of Calcutta, the anti-thug campaigns of the 1830s, the 1857 Rebellion, anti-colonial terrorism in Edwardian London and the Amritsar massacre in 1919, this timely book reveals how the terrorizing threat of violence mutually defined discursive relations between colonizer and colonized.
Alex Tickell is Lecturer in English at the Open University, UK, and Director of the OU's Postcolonial Literatures Research Group. He specializes in South-Asian literatures in English and has published widely on nineteenth-century colonial fiction, early writing in English by Indian authors, and contemporary fiction from the subcontinent. His publications include Selections from 'Bengaliana', Alternative Indias edited with Peter Morey and a readers' guide to Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things (Routledge, 2007).
