The Stillbirth of Capital: Enlightenment Writing and Colonial India

Book Overview

By systematically linking eighteenth-century European writing to the colonial history of India, The Stillbirth of Capital argues that the Enlightenment's vision of empire calls our own historical and theoretical paradigms into question, especially our premise that capitalism is the basis of modernity.
