Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[This] book traces the subtle influence of colonial forms of knowledge on modern schools of international relations and follows the translation and transformation of this knowledge within post-colonial settings. Concentrating on the way in which individuals and institutions read their historical past in light of contemporary criticisms and concerns, Muppidi finds that certain methods for discussing or representing the colonised have become acceptable while others have been condemned. Both, however, can be equally colonical in intent and purpose, and the difference in their reception lies in the processes of translation that make one visible, the other invisible, and ultimately maintain the framework of a global colonial order."--Flyleaf.
