  Challenging conventional understandings of the dynamics of cultural imperialism, this title unravels the complex relationship between translation and seduction in the colonial context. It examines the afterlives of two occupations of Egypt, by the French in 1798 and by the British in 1882, in a comparative analysis of acts, fictions, and theories.
