It interrogates concepts such as theory commitment, the discourse of colonialism, stereotype and discrimination, mimicry’s ambivalence, and the cultural politics of narration and authority. Through close discussion of historical scenes, literary forms, and cultural translation, it frames race, time, and revision of modernity while also highlighting scholarly exchanges and debts

haphazard affair.It gives me particular pleasure tonote that most of those mentioned below have sat at our kitchen table.In that spirit academic acquaintance has often turned into enduringfriendship.  \nThe evolution of this book owes a personal debt to a group of interro-gators and co-conspirators:Stephan Feuchtwang for asking theunthought question;James Donald for the pleasures of precision,with-out saying precisely';Robert Young for his fine readings and his toler-ance for telephone theory;and Gyan Prakash for insisting thatscholarship must be leavened with style.  \nI want here to acknowledge the pioneering oeuvre of Edward Saidwhich provided me with a critical terrain and an intellectual project;Gayatri Spivak's courage and brilliance,which has set high standardsof excitement;and Stuart Hall's work which has been exemplary for mein combining political acuity with an inspiring vision of inclusion.Ranajit Guha's and the subaltern scholars have provided me with themost stimulating recent example of historical revision.Terry Eagleton'searly exhortations at Oxford to stay tuned to the materialist mode haveproved to be sturdy advice.  \nThe work of Toni Morrison has been formative n my thinking onnarrative and historical temporality;many of my ideas on 'migrant′'andminority space have been sparked off by the novels of Salman Rushdie.I owe these remarkable writers a significant personal and intellectualdebt.In allowing me to quote from two of his inspirational poems
