Friends and fellow authors Henry Rider Haggard and Rudyard Kipling were prominent figures of imperial and colonial myth-making. Both writers were praised by their contemporaries for their alleged knowledge of and ability to speak from within the 'native' cultures of Africa and India. However, both exhibited a fascination with the colonized Other, displaying the striking ways in which the colonizing culture asserts its self-identity and authority. In this highly original and exciting re-reading of the classic works of Haggard and Kipling, Gail Ching-Liang Low asserts that the Other is actually a mirror reflecting the image of the colonizer - a `cultural cross-dressing'. Employing psychoanalysis, anthropology and post-colonial theory, she analyzes the way in which fantasy and fabulation is caught up in networks of desire and power. White Skins/Black Masks is a fascinating new entry into the current debates of post-colonial theory, and will be important reading for students of literary and cultural studies.
