«`The strength of Nixon's critique lies partly in his awareness of the vast body of literature emanating from the former colonies - and those who have migrated from them - since the 1950s.' Maya Jaggi, The Guardian»
«'His business is quite simply to expose what he regards as the falsity of Naipaul's position as a disinterested observer of, and expert on, the 'Third World', and the reason why he does so impressively is that he can write. His polemic is sustained and on the whole temperate. Powerfully written.' London Rview of Books»
«The importance of this study lies in its meticulous documentation of the ideological dimensions of Naipaul's representations of non-Western people and situations.»
