Notes

1 A very partial, but indicative list of some of this work would include: Arnold Citation(1993), Palladino and Worboys Citation(1993), Harding Citation(1994), Hess Citation(1995), Kumar Citation(1995), MacLeod and Kumar Citation(1995), Watson-Verran and Turnball Citation(1995), Visvanathan Citation(1997), Harding Citation(1998), Verran Citation(1998), Prakash Citation(1999), Shepherd (Citation2000a, Citation2000b), Turnbull Citation(2000) and Anderson Citation(2002).

2 Of course it is important to note that colonial legacies are never simply ‘leftover’ from the past, they are reanimated, recast and reappropriated in new forms and new ways, with new resistances. I am grateful to Les Levidow for reminding me of the need for this clarification.

3 Reviews of postcolonial theory can be found in: Young (Citation1990, Citation1995), Williams and Chrisman Citation(1994), Barker et al. Citation(1994), Mongia Citation(1996), Moore-Gilbert Citation(1997), Loomba Citation(1998) and Gandhi Citation(1998).
