Radhika Mohanram shows not just how British imperial culture shaped the colonies but how the imperial rule of colonies gave new meanings to what it meant to be British. Considering whether whiteness, like theory, can travel, Mohanram also provides a new perspective on white diaspora, a phenomenon of the nineteenth century that has been largely absent in diaspora studies, ultimately rethinking British imperial whiteness.

In the heritage of imperialism, one of the peculiar by-products is the 'emancipated' woman in the decolonized nation, not her sister in metropolitan space, whom we know much better. However unwilling she may be to ac knowledge this, part of the historical burden of that 'emancipated' postcolonial is to be in a situation of tu-toi-ing with the radical feminist in the metropolis.
