Elleke Boehmer is the Chair of Colonial and Postcolonial Studies in the Department of English and Media at Nottingham Trent University, and Director of the NTU Centre for Colonial and Postcolonial Studies. She has published Empire Writing (Oxford World's Classics, 1998), Empire, the National and the Postcolonial (2002), and critical editions of Robert Baden Powell's Scouting for Boys (2004) and Cornelia Sorabji's India Calling (2004).

Review from previous edition I imagine the book will continue to be an important resource for many years.
