The British Empire
By:Jane Samson
Published on 2001 by Oxford University Press on Demand
The phenomenon of imperialism has never been under such intense scrutiny, by such a wide range of academic disciplines, as it is today. From cultural studies to the history of science, academics are engaged in a series of debates about empire which move far beyond traditional preoccupations with metropolitan strategy, economics, and rivalry. This volume negotiates the many trends and concerns in recent areas of debate, to provide a broad-based, comparative history of the British Empire through the use of primary and secondary documentary sources. Selections are presented within a chronological framework, beginning with the origins of empire and ending with decolonization. The selections are illuminated by a central theme of identity, which both reflects modern scholarly preoccupations, and establishes a clear and coherent approach to the selected readings. General and section introductions explore such issues as the role of economics and religion in imperial expansion and rule; how indigenous and Creole populations constructed and expressed their own identities; and what changes were wrought by the process of decolonization. Bringing together a wide range of documentary evidence, this volume allows the varied and vital debates on aspects of imperialism to be seen in the wider context of the broad history of the British Empire.
