| Synopsis: | Robert Young argues that today's cultural theory repeats and renews many of the key concepts and terms such as hybridity through which culture and race have been defined in the past. Young traces the links between the paradigms of today's theory and writing on culture, civilization and racial difference in the nineteenth century. Culture is shown to have worked through an uneasy syncretism, carrying within it an inner dissonance that marks a resistance to Western culture within Western culture itself. Young asserts that 'Englishness' has been less fixed and stable than uncertain, fissured with difference and a desire for otherness. | |
