Imperialism as we knew it may be no more, but Empire is alive and well. It is, as Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri demonstrate in this bold work, the new political order of globalization.

Armah’s seventh novel plunges into history as the narrator Lindela translates secret hieroglyphic texts left by migrant Egyptian scribes millennia ago. As her work progresses, old questions animate her own urgent search for knowledge of self and society.
