Cultures of Colonialism in India & Spanish America

February 9, 11:30am - 1:00pm
Mānoa Campus, Sakamaki Hall A201

A public lecture by Dr. Ishita Banerjee-Dube of El Colegio de México:

‘Cultures of Colonialism: Empire, Gender, Nation in British India and Spanish America’

This talk will attempt an experimental juxtaposition of the empire and the colony, across time and continents. It will explore the politics of gender and the dominant cultural discourse of nationalism in the two colonies of India and Mexico. This will offer insights into how under different circumstances and through divergent modes, the ‘woman’ provides the key element in imperial strategies of domination and nationalist tactics of containment.
