By engaging closely with the work of Richard Francis Burton (182190), the iconic nineteenthcentury imperial spy, explorer, anthropologist and translator, Postcolonialism, Psychoanalysis and Burton explores the White Mans imperial fantasies, and the ways in which the many metropolitan discourses to which Burton contributed drew upon and reinforced an intimate connection between fantasy and power in the space of Empire. This original study sheds new light on the mechanisms of imperial appropriation and pays particular attention to Burtons relationship with his alter ego, Abdullah, the name by which he famously travelled to Mecca and Medina disguised as a Muslim pilgrim. In this context, Grantalso provides insightful readings of a number of Burtons contemporaries, such as Mller, du Chaillu, Darwin and Huxley, and engages with postcolonial and psychoanalytic theory in order to highlight the problematic relationship between the individual and imperialism, and to encourage readers to think about what it means to read colonial history and imperial narrative today.
