This book is an excellent example of what post-colonial criticism was intended to be: a serious historical engagement with the texts that emerged in the encounter between the colonizer and the colonized in the postcolonial world. Mufti makes a powerful statement on the relationship between colonial governmentality and the poetics of empire, and a clear and sustained connection between the discourses surrounding the idea of civil war, the civilization claims of colonial rule, and the imbrication of texts in this arena. --Simon E. Gikandi, author of Reading the African Novel and Slavery and the Culture of Taste
