"General Gordon's death in the Sudan marks the height of imperial cultural fever.
Even in the late nineteen seventies, the themes of Khartoum were still the basis for
children's stories, comic books, and depictions of masculinity. Imperial Culture in
the Sudan seeks to examine the cultural impact of Sudan on the popular image of the
British empire : why were these colonial administrators characterized as 'adventurers'?
Why was Sudan and the story of General Gordon so popular? The author argues it coincided
with the mass production of popular journalism, the height of Jingoism as a cultural
product and therefore a study of Sudan's experience tells us a lot about the British
Empire - how it was made, consumed and remembered."
