Colonial confluence

Jasanoff's book seems worth a read! An approach different from both "White Man's Burden" and "Orientalism".

Pakistanis need to consider this fluidity of colonial exchanges if we are to effectively reconcile with our past and move forward constructively. As Jasanoff aptly states: “Empires are a fact of world history. The important question for this book is not whether they are good or bad but what they do, whom they affect, and how.”
