description: Defying conventional studies of colonial domination, this enduring work emphasizes the importance of visions in fighting oppression and the cultural resources that keep such visions open and plural. Colonialism, it argues, damaged both colonized and colonizing societies, and Indian anti-imperialism found in Gandhi's counter-modernity a new language of dissent built on the lifestyle, values, and psychology of everyday life in India and on dissenting Western voices.
