‘As an interdisciplinary series the collection features literary commentary, art inspired by colonial connections, and historical examples of repression; it encompasses a variety of scholarly fields. By illustrating the impact of colonial thought through both literary and socio-historical examples, Colonial Continuities is a striking way of honoring the late Kate Marsh.’ Hope Hecht, The French Review
