Recenzii
'Don Randall's 'Kipling's Imperial Boy' is an important contribution to
Kipling studies and to the area of colonial discourse analysis more
generally. Historically sensitive and theoretically aware, it provides a
persuasive and original mapping of theories of cultural hybridity onto
discourses of adolescence - and vice versa. In a series of close readings
of 'The Jungle Books', 'Stalky and Co' and 'Kim', Randall ably
demonstrates that Kipling's imperial boys are liminal figures who both
subvert and reinforce the borders between cultures and who both counter
and confirm the masculinism of colonial epistemology. 'Kipling's Imperial
Boy' is further evidence of the continuing recuperation of Kipling as a
complex and important artist and thinker.' - Bart Moore Gilbert, University of London
'...a very impressive piece of work.' - Laurence Kitzan, Victorian Studies
