Cosmopolitan Prejudice
Paulo Lemos Horta provides a novel perspective of cosmopolitanism in the service of empire through the works of the famous Richard Francis Burton, self-described “cosmopolite” and Kwame Anthony Appiah’s prime example of his cosmopolitan imperative to be open to cultural difference.

Cosmopolitan Bias
Taking as its point of departure Rushdie’s use of Burton’s Nights and South Asian travelogues in Shame and The Satanic Verses , this paper reads Burton and Rushdie against their cultural moments and their variant understandings of cosmopolitanism. Contra Appiah’s deployment of Burton in his seminal study of cosmopolitanism, it suggests that Burton’s prejudices were not as Appiah ventures “counter-cosmopolitan” but (because they were often acquire…
