Empires and colonies / Jonathan Hart

Public ISBD Titre : Empires and colonies Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jonathan Hart, Auteur Editeur : Cambridge : Polity Press Année de publication : 2008 Importance : (IX-387 p.) Format : 23 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-7456-2614-7 Note générale : Notes bibliogr. p. [293]-363. Index Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Imperialism  History  Europe  Colonies  Territorial expansion. Résumé : Empires and Colonies provides a thoroughgoing and lively exploration of the expansion of the seaborne empires of western Europe from the fifteenth century and how that process of expansion affected the world, including its successor, the United States. Whilst providing special attention to Europe, the book is careful to highlight the ambivalence and contradiction of that expansion. The book also illuminates connections between empires and colonies as a theme in history, concentrating on culture while also discussing the rich social, economic and political dimensions of the story. Furthermore, Empires and Colonies recognizes that whilst a study of the expansion of Europe is an important part of world history, it is not a history of the world per se. The focus on culture is used to assert that areas and peoples that lack great economic power at any given time also deserve attention. These alternative voices of slaves, indigenous peoples and critics of empire and colonization are an important and compelling element of the book. Empires and Colonies will be essential reading not only for students of imperial history, but also for anyone interested in the makings of our modern world.
