Reading them would allow us to write the history of the East-West encounter through critical lenses that demonstrate the workings of power-knowledge in the elaborate war-economy of racialised colonial-capitalism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany of the tropes used by these colonial-era scholars and travellers, such as the indolence or savagery of the native population, are still very much in use today - which means we still live in the long shadow of the 19th century. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-15150183\"\u003eFarish A.
