Will we never be rid of the literary critic masquerading as historian?! From page one Ms Liu concerns herself with a battle of words, as her own postmodern jargon-ladden prose might somehow stand in for serious historical scholarship. She tells us that the book 'is engaged with the hetero-cultural legacy of sovereign thinking' and 'emphasizes moments and forms of moral and affective investment of sovereignty that articulate effectively to the modern world of empires,' when in fact the book is one long exercise in Foucault-speak, i.e. sound and fury (of course hurled mostly at everything Western and male) signifying nothing. Such fascination with 'the itinerancy of signs' and fabricated linguistics has little to do with proper historical scholarship and should vigorously routed from the discipline. The fact that Liu concludes her long-winded meanderings on "intersubjectivity, indexicality" and theory with, not, as we might suspect a summary of her thesis (there really isn't one; how can you summarize 200 pages of deconstructionist mental masterbation?), but rather with anecdotes of her weird and disturbed obsession with the photographs of Chinese thrones, should say something about the usefulness of this work for anyone seeking a history of the interaction of British and Chinese Empires.
