Description:

Can a book change the world? Fighting Words looks at how the book has fuelled resistance to empire in the long twentieth century. What emerges is a complex portrait of the vital and multifaceted role played by the book in both the formation and the form of anticolonial resistance, and the development of the postcolonial world.
