A major work which marks a new departure in the field. -Stuart Hall This is an ambitious and exciting book by a gifted young anthropologist. David Scott takes two ex-colonial countries which he personally knows well, Sri Lanka and Jamaica, and subjects aspects of their constructed representation to probing criticism. He does much more than simply apply familiar principles of constructivist critique to new ethnographic material. Scott's purpose is to encourage the rethinking of political options for the future, and in so doing to extend the meaning of postcolonial critique. -Talal Asad, CUNY Graduate Center """This is an ambitious and exciting book by a gifted young anthropologist.
