A passage to India

This novel puts colonialism under the microscope and examines racism in India during the period of English colonization. Forster gives us a tale of a rare friendship and the delicate threads that keep it alive - or allow it to fall apart. This concise supplement to E.M. Forster's A Passage to India helps students understand the overall structure of the novel, actions and motivations of the characters, and the social and cultural perspectives of the author.
