"I did not know Indians were allowed to write like this," remarked an Indian admirer of "Impressing the Whites" in 2004. He had also read "The Revised Kama Sutra" while a student at the IIT (Kharagpur), and found "Impressing the Whites" and me after a difficult search. The book includes "The Fourteen Commandments of Impressing the Whites," and "The New Spiritual Colonialism," and a letter to Salman Rushdie. The games that whites, blacks, and other nonwhites play with each other ultimately serves the colonial agenda, writes the author, who skewers racial stereotyping and power games in literature, politics, international business, and even in the cosmetics industry. Compared by one reviewer to a “Sasha Baron Cohen...Chris Rock race routine… brilliant,” the book is also a passionate attempt to understand and analyze the underlying forces that shape how nonwhites and whites behave towards each other and how the former, in particular, are sometimes compelled to run their lives.. If you prefer to read this book in print rather than on a digital screen, a new paperback version of the book (long sold for over $124.95 a copy, used), is now available. The first to be published in the West; it is mostly faithful to the classic 2000 original. "The reader laughs, squirms, recognizes his/her own hypocrisy and the blatant absurdity of most unquestioned social conventions. Zany exuberance . . . mischievous pleasure."--Frank Feldman "Boldly goes where no Indian has gone before."--The Asian Age, Book Pick of the Fortnight.
