reviewed The Slow Plague: A Geography of the AIDS Pandemic on July 03, 2016 The Slow Plague
The long and the short of it is that this book applies Edward Said's ideas about Orientalism to India, and particularly to the "essentialized" view of India that was developed by mostly British Orientalists during the age of empire. I always try to be open-minded about post-colonial theory, but I couldn't read this book without noticing all of the remarkable contradictions in the enterprise.
