Indian traffic : identities in question in colonial and postcolonial India
Explores the ways in which questions of originality and impersonation function, not just for westernized subjects, but across a range of identities. This book considers the Englishman's fascination with 'going native', an Irishwoman's assumption of Hindu feminine celibacy, and Gandhi's impersonation of femininity.
