Reviews

"The Devil's Handwriting is a masterly study of the capacious nature of the colonial form. I know of no other study of the colonial state that combines such a breathtaking depth and breadth of archival analysis with such an acute sensibility of the play of difference within the rule of difference. The writing is open, engaging, personable, even as the material is, at times, devastating." - Elizabeth A. Povinelli, Columbia University"
