Description: Colonial masculinity breaks new ground by placing masculinity at  the centre of colonial and nationalist politics in the late nineteenth century  in India. Mrinalini Sinha situates the analysis very specifically in the        context of an imperial social formation, examining colonial masculinity not     only in the context of social forces within India, but also as framed by and    framing political, economic, and ideological shifts in Britain.
