Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | "An innovative new take on the drainage of the Fens, framed in the language of colonialism, Imperial Mud upends the classical narrative of this being a triumph of technology over nature. The final destruction of England's last lowland wilderness and the dispossession of its custodians was not a consequence of progress', but of the growing power of a centralised and militarised state. Imperial Mud reimagines not just the history of the Fens, but the history (and identity) of the English people. And in reimagining the past, it invents a new future."--Amazon.ca |
