About the Author
Ann Laura Stoler is a distinguished anthropologist and historian whose scholarship illuminates the intricate intersections of race, sexuality, and colonial power. A professor emerita at Cornell University and the author of seminal works on imperialism and its enduring legacies, Stoler draws from extensive archival research in Southeast Asia and beyond to challenge conventional narratives of empire. Her explorations reveal how intimate domains of family, education, and governance were sites of racial hierarchies and bourgeois ideologies. Through rigorous analysis and nuanced prose, Stoler's contributions have reshaped understandings of colonialism's cultural underpinnings, influencing fields from postcolonial studies to critical theory. With a career spanning decades, she continues to engage global audiences in rethinking the tensions that define modern inequalities.
