Dube (film and literature, Indiana U. of Pennsylvania) examines how the colonial administrators, officers, and historians represented their task of the colonial takeover of India, and the ways in which the labor of the colonized populace was inserted into the official discourse of colonial enterprise. That central discourse is not merely a colonial phenomenon, she argues, but continues to be re-invented in cultural sites today, for example Indian film, and takes as a case study Ray's 1977 film re-creating the annexation of Awadh in 1856.
