The Lost Land of Lemuria: Fabulous Geographies, Catastrophic Histories Book
During the nineteenth century, Lemuria was imagined as a land that once bridged India and Africa but that disappeared into the ocean millennia ago, much like Atlantis. A sustained meditation on a lost place from a lost time, this elegantly written book is the first to explore Lemuria's incarnations across cultures, from Victorian-era science to Euro-American occultism to colonial and postcolonial India. Superbly researched, The Lost Land of Lemuria widens into a provocative exploration of the poetics and politics of loss to consider how this sentiment manifests itself in a fascination with vanished homelands, hidden civilizations, and forgotten peoples, ultimately revealing how loss itself has become a condition of modernity.
