Reviews

'... a profoundly thoughtful, impeccably researched, and - amazingly enough - elegantly written book... A scholar with the intellectual breadth and depth of a Sidney Mintz or a Peter Hulme, HS works the historical, critical, and theoretical mine fields that frame her task thoroughly unscathed and has produced a study that is a model of its kind. ..Scott's book is so good it feels too short. ' American Book Review '... Scott resists facile reductive tendencies of generalization and oversimplification. She deftly entwines the historical and geopolitical contexts... compelling analysis of texts... Highly recommended.' Choice
