Synopsis Unbecoming Modern : Colonialism, Modernity, Colonial Modernities explores the vital impact of the colonial pasts of India, Mexico, China, and even the United States on the processes through which these countries have become modern. The collection is unique as it brings together a range of disciplines and perspectives.

Students of history, sociology, political science, and English literature will find this book immensely valuable.
