Nagai (Univ. of Kent, UK) contributes to the postcolonial debate between scholars who emphasize Irish contributions to British imperialism and those who insist on Irish nationalist resistance. Rudyard Kipling serves as a witness demonstrating the empire's effort to create a "family" of diverse colonized nations within its grand design. Foregrounding sociopolitical agendas in this manner ignores Kipling as a literary practitioner and magnifies his ideological message. Nagai concentrates on Kipling's Irish characters as they navigate between national and imperial identities. The book is divided into three (unequal) chronological parts: the 1880s when Kipling lived in India, the 1890s when he achieved international fame, and the Boer War years. Kipling's work in each period seems to be a palimpsest of the others, always reinforcing the conclusion that he tried to confine the explosive force (she calls it "dynamite") of Irish, Indian, and Boer nationalism within an irenic English empire, an "imperial dream life." Despite heavy-handed prose, Nagai's search for analogies produces dramatic moments (e.g., those surrounding Maude Gonne and Irish General Reginald Dyer). Her bibliography and notes demonstrate a thorough familiarity with Kipling's work and critical responses to it. Summing Up: Recommended. Researchers and faculty.--Choice
Reseña del editor
Starting from the analysis of the Irish characters in Kipling's Indian stories, this book shows that the representation of the British Empire was greatly indebted to analogies and comparisons made between colonies. It contrasts two different ways of making colonial analogies: 'imperialist' and 'nationalist'. Kipling, as a young journalist, was keenly aware of the fact that Indian and Irish nationalists drew analogies between each other's colonial situation to make the case for self-government and British misrule, and his repeated emphasis on Irish participation in the Raj can be seen as a powerful 'imperialist' counter-representation to these subversive analogies. With this framework in mind, this book traces how Kipling's representation of Empire changed over time as he moved away from India and also how the hegemony of British imperialism faltered toward the end of the nineteenth century. This book makes a major contribution to post-colonialism studies in general and to the comparative study of Ireland and India in particular.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Who is Kim ' and 'Why is he Irish '--This book sheds light on this post-colonial riddle by placing it within a web of colonial analogies that existed to create the British Empire as a 'reality.' It characterizes 'Empire' as a discursive battleground in which conflicting and changing models of British hegemony coexisted and were constantly contested. Artikel-Nr. 9781859184080
