Espionage, Intrigue, and Politics
This article examines the ways in which Kalimpong, living up to its moniker as a “nest of spies,” was a site where local and international intrigues played out, especially at the local Chinese Chung Hwa School. It examines the period between the 1940s and early 1960s, when Kalimpong, on account of its strategic location, was home to “foreign Kautilyas” of different intelligence services. The Chung Hwa School came to play a part in this game as it…

the second Annual Conference of the Nordic Himalaya Research Network (NHRN) brought together researchers in the Nordic region and beyond who work on all aspects of research related to the Himalaya region spanning India, Nepal, Bhutan and Tibet.

The uses of the passport
This essay investigates the cultural and political genealogy of the passport in the 19th century, as a document that sought to secure the rights of European national citizenship. Examining the historical case of Malika Kishwar (or Jenabi Auliah Tajara Begum), the Begum of Oudh, who led a delegation to London to petition the Queen and parliament against the annexation of Oudh, it shows how liberal concepts of the rights of citizenship were contrad…

Your complete reference to the postcolonial literatures of Continental European Empires This is the first reference work to provide an integrated and authoritative body of information about the political, cultural and economic contexts of postcolonial literatures that have their provenance in the major European Empires of Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain as well as places like Latin America and the Ph…
Historical Companion to Postcolonial Literatures
“In a little country like ours …”
This paper examines Greenlandic Inuit identity in relation to the Danish national imaginary by critically reading Peter H⊘eg’s Miss Smilla’s Feeling for Snow (1997 H⊘eg, Peter. 1997. Miss Smilla’s Feeling for Snow, Edited by: David, F. London: Harvill. [Google Scholar]). We argue that H⊘eg’s positioning of a postcolonial Inuit migrant in the metropolitan centre enables, albeit limitedly, a critique both of Danish imperialism and narrative constru…
Empire and after
In recent years there has been a sustained renewal of interest in national identity at a popular, political and academic level, and a striking common feature in each case has been the concern to differentiate between British and and to define a distinct sense of Englishness. The English flag (the cross of St. George as opposed to the flag of the United Kingdom, the Union Flag) has gained a currency inconceivable even ten years ago. Drawing togeth…
Stating culture
Delineating the complex relationship between state, nation and culture in India, the paper examines the discourses that are produced to define what culture is in the life of the nation. Shared epistemic assumptions in colonial and postcolonial writings tend to constitute a veritable silence on structural social inequalities and marginalized identities. Articulated in a deceptively self‐evident and “neutral” framework, this silence disavows real d…
