Women and Others 
Perspectives on Race, Gender, and Empire

Discussing intersecting discourses of race, gender and empire in literature, history and contemporary culture, the book begins with the metaphor of ‘the other woman’ as a repository for the ‘otherness’ of all women in a masculinist-racist society and shows how discourses of race and sexuality thwart the realization of true inter-racial sisterhood.
