"This collection of essays is the first to apply postcolonial theory to the Middle Ages, and to critique that theory through the excavation of a distant past. The essays examine the establishment of colony, empire, and nationalism in order to expose the mechanisms of oppression through which "aboriginal," "native," or simply pre-existent cultures are displaced, eradicated, or transformed."--BOOK JACKET.
