Life Writing After Empire

Life Writing After Empire

A watershed moment of the twentieth century the end of empire saw upheavals to global power structures and national identities. However decolonisation profoundly affected individual subjectivities too. Life Writing After Empire examines how people around the globe have made sense of the post-imperial condition through the practice of life writing in its multifarious expressions from auto/biography through travel writing to oral history and photography. Through interdisciplinary approaches that draw on literature and history alike the contributors explore how we might approach these genres differently in order to understand how individual life writing reflects broader societal changes. From far-flung corners of the former British Empire people have turned to life writing to manage painful or nostalgic memories as well as to think about the past and future of the nation anew through the personal experience. In a range of innovative and insightful contributions some of the foremost scholars of the field challenge the way we think about narrative memory and identity after empire. This book was originally published as a special issue of Life Writing.

The British Empire A History and a Debate

The British Empire A History and a Debate

What was the course and consequence of the British Empire? The rights and wrongs strengths and weaknesses of empire are a major topic in global history and deservedly so. Focusing on the most prominent and wide-ranging empire in world history the British empire Jeremy Black provides not only a history of that empire but also a perspective from which to consider the issues of its strengths and weaknesses and rights and wrongs. In short this is history both of the past and of the present-day discussion of the past that recognises that discussion over historical empires is in part a reflection of the consideration of contemporary states. In this book Professor Black weaves together an overview of the British Empire across the centuries with a considered commentary on both the public historiography of empire and the politically-charged character of much discussion of it. There is a coverage here of social as well as political and economic dimensions of empire and both the British perspective and that of the colonies is considered. The chronological dimension is set by the need to consider not only imperial expansion by the British state but also the history of Britain within an imperial context. As such this is a story of empires within the British Isles Europe and later world-wide. The book addresses global decline decolonisation and the complex nature of post-colonialism and different imperial activity in modern and contemporary history. Taking a revisionist approach there is no automatic assumption that imperialism empire and colonialism were ’bad’ things. Instead there is a dispassionate and evidence-based evaluation of the British empire as a form of government an economic system and a method of engagement with the world one with both faults and benefits for the metropole and the colony. | The British Empire A History and a Debate

The Mongol Empire Its Rise and Legacy

The Mongol Empire Its Rise and Legacy

In his prologue to The Mongol Empire Michael Prawdin sets the stage for the last and mightiest onslaught of the nomads upon the civilized world. He tells of the many rejoicings in Europe over the successes of the Crusaders in A. D. 1221. But little did Europe know that two decades later the Mongol hordes organized by Genghis Khan would turn the Middle East into a heap of ruins and spread terror throughout the West. A work of enduring scholarship and literary excellence The Mongol Empire is a classic on the rise and fall of the world's largest empire. It describes the incredible ascent of the Mongol people which through the political and military genius of Genghis Khan overwhelmed and subdued the nations of most of the world. It demonstrates the transformation of barbarous nomads into the most efficient rulers of their time and describes the crumbling of their vast empire and the assumption of its legacy by the formerly subjugated China and Russia. Maurice Collis in Time and Tide said of The Mongol Empire: It has the rare merit of being both scholarly and exciting. . The entire world comes on to his canvas romantic and fantastical persons pass in our view and at the conclusion we realize that we have seen the whole of what Marco Polo saw only in part. while The Observer commented it is a fine book full of dramatic occasion well used clear in proportions. | The Mongol Empire Its Rise and Legacy

President McKinley War and Empire President McKinley and America's New Empire

President McKinley War and Empire President McKinley and America's New Empire

This second volume of President McKinley War and Empire assesses five theories that have dominated analysis of modern societies in the last century-liberalism Marxism mass society pluralism and elitism-in accounting for an aberrant event in American history: the Spanish-American War. President McKinley and the Coming of the War 1898 volume 1 of this definitive history considered the origins of that war. This second volume is concerned with the war's outcome; the settlement in which the U. S. gained an empire. The book begins by reviewing various expansionist episodes in U. S. history-some successes some failures-and by analyzing the complexities support and opposition involved in expansionism. It then examines the work of expansionist writers men said to have driven the 1898-99 movement finding these claims to be questionable. Hamilton assesses McKinley's decision-making in regard to the settlement of the Spanish-American War including the influences that might have moved him as well as his own justifications. He then reviews the subsequent achievements: the size and character of the new American empire; trade flows the Philippine experience and U. S. efforts in China-supposedly the prime goal of the new imperialism. Many contemporary writers anticipated great possibilities in China but that fabled market remained minuscule throughout the following century. Much American trade continued to be with Western Europe while the biggest change in U. S. exports went largely unnoticed-Canada became the nation's number one trading partner. In much historical writing McKinley is portrayed as little more than a front man for Mark Hanna the adept businessman-politician who organized and led his presidential campaign aided by generous financial contributions from business leaders across the nation. Hanna certainly was a leading figure in McKinley's career but the assumption that his influence was controlling is not justified as has been shown in recent research. McKinley was far more than a figurehead easily manipulated by representatives of the interests. | President McKinley War and Empire President McKinley and America's New Empire

(Dis)Placing Empire Renegotiating British Colonial Geographies

(Dis)Placing Empire Renegotiating British Colonial Geographies

While there has been for the past two decades a lively and extensive academic debate about postcolonial representations of imperialism and colonialism there has been little work which focuses on 'placed' materialist or critical geographical perspectives. The contributors to this volume offer such a perspective asserting the inadequacy of conventional 'self/other' binaries in postcolonial analysis which fail to recognise the complex ways in which space and place were implicated in constructing the individual experience of Empire. Illustrated with case studies of British colonialism in Australia Hong Kong India Ireland and New Zealand in the later nineteenth and twentieth centuries the book uncovers the complex and unstable spaces of meaning which were central to the experience of emigrants settlers expatriates and indigenous peoples at different time/place moments under British rule. In critically examining place and hybridity within a discursive context (Dis)placing Empire offers new insights into the practice of Empire. | (Dis)Placing Empire Renegotiating British Colonial Geographies

Postcolonial Film History Empire Resistance

Postcolonial Film History Empire Resistance

Postcolonial Film: History Empire Resistance examines films of the later twentieth and early twenty-first centuries from postcolonial countries around the globe. In the mid twentieth century the political reality of resistance and decolonization lead to the creation of dozens of new states forming a backdrop to films of that period. Towards the century’s end and at the dawn of the new millennium film continues to form a site for interrogating colonization and decolonization though against a backdrop that is now more neo-colonial than colonial and more culturally imperial than imperial. This volume explores how individual films emerged from and commented on postcolonial spaces and the building and breaking down of the European empire. Each chapter is a case study examining how a particular film from a postcolonial nation emerges from and reflects that nation’s unique postcolonial situation. This analysis of one nation’s struggle with its coloniality allows each essay to investigate just what it means to be postcolonial. | Postcolonial Film History Empire Resistance

American Empire in Global History

American Empire in Global History

This book shows how the predominantly national focus that characterises studies of the United States after 1783 can be integrated with global trends as viewed from the perspective of imperial history. The book also argues that historians of European empires have much to gain by considering the United States after 1783 as a newly-decolonised country that acquired overseas territorial possessions in 1898 and remained a member of the Western ‘imperial club’ until the mid-twentieth century. The wide-ranging synthesis by A. G. Hopkins American Empire: A Global History (2018) provides the starting point for contributions that appraise its main theme and take it in new directions. The first three chapters identify fresh approaches to U. S. history between the Revolution and the Civil War suggesting ways in which the United States can be considered as a newly-decolonised country examining shifting meanings of the term ‘empire ’ and reassessing the character of continental expansion. The second group deals with initiatives and responses in the Philippines and Cuba reconsidering the character of nationalism in two of the most important overseas territories that were either ruled directly or controlled indirectly by the United States and placing it an international context. The third group examines the exercise of U. S. power in the twentieth century identifying aspects of international law that have been overlooked and reviewing the extensive literature on the controversial themes of the Cold War and informal empire after 1945. The ten chapters in this edited volume bring together noted specialists on the history of international relations the United States and the insular empire it ruled in the twentieth century. The chapters were originally published as articles in a special issue of The Journal of Imperial and Commonwealth History. | American Empire in Global History

Syrian Influences in the Roman Empire to AD 300

Syrian Influences in the Roman Empire to AD 300

The study of Syria as a Roman province has been neglected by comparison with equivalent geographical regions such as Italy Egypt Greece and even Gaul. It was however one of the economic powerhouses of the empire from its annexation until after the empire’s dissolution. As such it clearly deserves some particular consideration but at the same time it was a major contributor to the military strength of the empire notably in the form of the recruitment of auxiliary regiments several dozens of which were formed from Syrians. Many pagan gods such as Jupiter Dolichenus and Jupiter Heliopolitanus Dea Syra and also Judaism originated in Syria and reached the far bounds of the empire. This book is a consideration based on original sources of the means by which Syrians whose country was only annexed to the empire in 64 BC saw their influence penetrate into all levels of society from private soldiers and ordinary citizens to priests and to imperial families. | Syrian Influences in the Roman Empire to AD 300

Rome and her Empire

Rome and her Empire

The name of Rome excites a picture of power and organisation as do the widely-spread ruins that Roman civilization left behind. Yet Rome grew out of a collection of small villages and major developments such as the growth of Empire were unplanned and completely unprepared for. Influenced by a small number of self-interested aristocrats who lacked a broader vision Rome was often threatened by their intrigues. Brought to the ground on a number of occasions its leaders were able to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. How did Rome survive for nearly 1000 years ruling over millions of people with few instances of internal rebellion? David Shotter argues that the key was the way Rome managed to adapt to new circumstances without at the same time discarding too many of its cherished traditions. | Rome and her Empire

The Soviet Empire Reconsidered Essays In Honor Of Adam B. Ulam

The Soviet Empire Reconsidered Essays In Honor Of Adam B. Ulam

The demise of any empire provides an occasion for fresh examination of longaccepted truths about its history and its intrinsic nature: What set this particular empire apart from others? Why did it develop in the way that it did? Could events have taken a different path? What legacies has the empire left to its heirs? In this volume eminent scholars reflect on the unique and central features of the Soviet empire during its period of consolidation in Europe and speculate on the long-term effects of its collapse. They reconsider subjects that have absorbed Adam Ulam's attention in his own work—the ideologies of central planning of totalitarianism and state terror at home and of intervention abroad—and explore their impact on the people who lived under Soviet power at its apogee. They also analyze the unraveling of the system on the domestic scene in elite and grassroots politics and in the international arena. Concluding chapters focus on the configuration of new domestic and foreign policies and on prospects for security and cooperation in the region. | The Soviet Empire Reconsidered Essays In Honor Of Adam B.

War and Empire The Expansion of Britain 1790-1830

War and Empire The Expansion of Britain 1790-1830

The years 1790 to 1830 saw Britain engage in an extensive period of war-waging and empire-building which transformed its position as an imperial state established its reputation as a distinctive military power and secured naval preeminence. Despite this apparent success Britain did not become a world super power in the conventional sense. Instead as Professor Collins demonstrates it operated as an enclave power influencing or dominating many regions of the world without ever asserting global hegemony. Even in the 1820s Britain still had to fight to maintain influence and sometimes struggled to assert dominance on the borderlands of the empire. By locating naval and military power at the heart of Britain's relationship with the wider world Bruce Collins offers an insightful reinterpretation of the interaction between military and naval war-making the expansion of the empire and the nature of the British regime. Using examples of conflicts ranging from continental Europe and Ireland to North America Africa and India he argues that the state‘s effectiveness in war was crucial to its imperial expansion and gives new significance to British military conduct in an age of revolution and war. | War and Empire The Expansion of Britain 1790-1830

Liberalism and the British Empire in Southeast Asia

Liberalism and the British Empire in Southeast Asia

This collection of essays collects the leading scholars on British colonial thought in Southeast Asia to consider the question: what was the relationship between liberalism and the British Empire in Southeast Asia? The empire builders in Southeast Asia: Lord Minto William Farquhar John Leyden Thomas Stamford Raffles and John Crawfurd - to name a few - were fervent believers in a liberal free trade order in Southeast Asia. Many recent studies of British imperialism and European imperialism more generally have addressed how the anti-imperialist tradition of Eighteenth century liberalism was increasingly intertwined with the discourses of empire freedom race and economics in the nineteenth century. This collection extends those studies to look at the impact of liberalism on. British colonialism in Southeast Asia and early nineteenth century Southeast Asia we see some of the first attempts at developing multicultural democracies within the colonies experiments in free trade and attempts to use free trade to prevent war and colonisation.

The British Empire and the First World War

The British Empire and the First World War

The British Empire played a crucial part in the First World War supplying hundreds of thousands of soldiers and labourers as well as a range of essential resources from foodstuffs to minerals mules and munitions.

This collection offers a comprehensive selection of essays illuminating the extent of the Empire’s war contribution and experience and the richness of scholarly research on the subject. Whether supporting British military operations aiding the British imperial economy or experiencing significant wartime effects on the home fronts of the Empire the war had a profound impact on the colonies and their people.

Prostitutes Hostesses and Actresses at the Edge of the Japanese Empire Fragmenting History

Prostitutes Hostesses and Actresses at the Edge of the Japanese Empire Fragmenting History

Analysing materials from literature and film this book considers the fates of women who did not or could not buy into the Japanese imperial ideology of good wives wise mothers in support of male empire-building. Although many feminist critics have articulated women’s active roles as dutiful collaborators for the Japanese empire male-dominated narratives of empire-building have been largely supported and rectified. In contrast the roles of marginalized women such as sex workers women entertainers hostesses and hibakusha have rarely been analyzed. This book addresses this intellectual lacuna by closely examining memories (semi-)autobiographical stories and newspaper articles grounded or inspired by lived experiences not only in Japan but also in Shanghai Manchukuo colonial Korea and the Pacific. Chapters further explore the voices of diasporic Korean women (Zainichi Korean woman born in Japan as well as Korean American woman born in Korea) whose lives were impacted intervening ethnocentric narratives that were at the heart of the Japanese empire. An appendix presents the first English translation of a memorable statement on comfort women by former Japanese propaganda actress Ri Kōran / Yamaguchi Yoshiko. Prostitutes Hostesses and Actresses at the Edge of the Japanese Empire will appeal to students and scholars of Japanese literature and film studies as well as gender sexuality and postcolonial studies. | Prostitutes Hostesses and Actresses at the Edge of the Japanese Empire Fragmenting History

Transnationalism Education and Empowerment The Latent Legacies of Empire

Transnationalism Education and Empowerment The Latent Legacies of Empire

Transnationalism Education and Empowerment challenges the prevailing notion that transnationalism is concerned fundamentally with the process of enhanced global population movement that has been allied with modern globalisation. Instead it argues that transnationalism is a state of mind disassociated from the notion of ‘place ’ that can be observed equally in societies of the past. Drawing on the context of colonial Sri Lanka and the British Empire the book discusses how education in the British Empire was the means by which some marginalised groups in colonised societies were able to activate their transnational dispositions. Far from being a universal oppressor of colonised people as argued by postcolonial scholarship colonial education was capable of creating pathways to life improvement that did not exist before the European colonial period providing agency to those who did not possess it prior to colonial rule. The book begins by exploring the meaning of transnationalism arguing that it needs to be redefined to meet the realities of past and current global societies. It then moves on to examine the ways education was used within the period of 18th and 19th century European colonialism with a particular emphasis on Sri Lanka and other parts of the former British Empire. Drawing from examples of his own family’s ancestry Casinader then discusses how some marginalised groups in parts of the British Empire were able to use education as the key to unlocking their pre-existing transnational dispositions in order to create pathways for more prosperous futures. Rather than being subjugated by colonial education they harnessed the educational aspects of British colonial education for their own goals. This book is one of the first to contest and critically evaluate the contemporary conceptualisation of transnationalism particularly in the educational context. It will be of key interest to academics researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of education the history of education imperial and colonial history cultural studies and geography. | Transnationalism Education and Empowerment The Latent Legacies of Empire

Ireland Slavery Anti-Slavery and Empire

Ireland Slavery Anti-Slavery and Empire

Although the significance of transatlantic currents of influence on slavery and abolition in the Americas has received substantial scholarly attention the focus has tended to be largely on the British transatlantic or on the effects of American racial politics on the emergence of Irish American political identity in the US. The specifics of Ireland’s role as a transnational hub of anti-slavery literary and political activity and as deeply imbricated in debates around slavery and freedom are often overlooked. This collection points to the particularity and significance of Ireland’s place in nineteenth-century exchanges around slavery and anti-slavery. Importantly it foregrounds the context of empire – Ireland was both one of the ‘home’ nations of the UK on many levels deeply complicit in British imperialism and a space of emergent anti-colonial radicalism bourgeois nationalism and significant literary opportunity for Black abolitionist writers – as a key mediator of the ways in which the conceptual and practical responses to slavery and anti-slavery took shape in the Irish context. Moving beyond the transatlantic model often used to position debates around slavery in the Americas it incorporates discussion around campaigns to abolish slavery within the empire opening up the possibility of wider comparative discussions of slavery and anti-slavery around the Indian Ocean and the African continent. It also emphasizes the plurality of positions in play across class political racial and national lines and the ways in which those positions shifted in response to changing social cultural and economic conditions. This book was originally published as a special issue of Slavery & Abolition: A Journal of Slave and Post-Slave Studies. | Ireland Slavery Anti-Slavery and Empire
