Decolonization and the Half-Lives of Empires
The end of empires after World War II may have amounted to “the biggest reconfiguration of world politics ever seen,” but how much potency do colonial legacies retain today
When Capitalists Collide
The Oil Obsession
Oil Money recounts the evolution in U.S. relations with the petroleum-exporting monarchies of the Persian Gulf following the mid-1970s “oil revolution.” David Wight details the ways in which principals in the Nixon, Ford, and Carter presidential administrations fretted about while ultimately adjusting to and, arguably, gaining from the new order of higher oil prices, the staged takeover of the western firms’ operations, and the vastly increased r…

What Time Was It
In Worldmaking after Empire: The Rise and Fall of Self-Determination, University of Chicago political theorist Adom Getachew has written a revisionist account of decolonization as “worldmaking” to inspire those who follow trailblazers like Kwame Nkrumah in pursuit of what she calls an “anti-imperial future.” As with other such projects of “imagining,” as Ernest Renan once observed about nationalism, a certain forgetfulness and even historical err…
White World Order, Black Power Politics
Racism and imperialism are the twin forces that propelled the course of the United States in the world in the early twentieth century and in turn affected the way that diplomatic history and international relations were taught and understood in the American academy. Evolutionary theory, social Darwinism, and racial anthropology had been dominant doctrines in international relations from its beginnings; racist attitudes informed research prioritie…
Development Against Democracy
This new, updated edition of the influential Development Against Democracy is a critical guide to postwar studies of modernization and development. In the mid-twentieth century, models of development studies were products of postwar American policy. They focused on newly independent states in the Global South, aiming to assure their pro-Western orientation by claiming to promote economic growth and democracy, while masking U.S. intervention to bl…

The Midnight Ride of Kwame Nkrumah and Other Fables of Bandung (Ban-doong)
The battle against colonialism has been a long one, and do you know that today is a famous anniversary in that battle?On the eighteenth day of April, on thousand seven hundred and seventy five, just one hundred and eighty years ago, Paul Revere rode at midnight through the New England countryside, warning of the approach of British troops and of the opening of the American War of Independence, the first successful anti-colonial war in history
American Ambassador in Technicolor and Cinemascope
The Noble American Science of Imperial Relations and Its Laws of Race Development
Political scientists in early-twentieth-century America who traced the nineteenth-century origins of their field pointed to the British theorist and statesmen, George Cornewall Lewis (1806-1863). His best-known work isAn Essay on the Government of Dependencies(1841). Lewis defined the science of politics as comprising three parts: the nature of the relation between a sovereign government and its subjects, the relation between the sovereign govern…
Wallace Stegner's Arabian Discovery
In 1956 Wallace Stegner wrote a history of the Arabian American Oil Company (Aramco), but it was only published fifteen years later—in Beirut. The book complicates the view of Stegner as a destroyer of American western myths and a forerunner of the social and environmental turn in western history. Stegner shared with those who bought his services some problematic ideas about American identity and history in the context of the Cold War. His forgot…

Black Gold, White Crude
Roosevelt received him [British ambassador Lord Halifax] that very evening at the White House. Their discussion focused on the Middle East. Trying to allay Halifax's apprehension and irritation, Roosevelt showed the ambassador a rough sketch he had made of the Middle East. Persian oil, he told the ambassador, is yours. We share the oil of Iraq and Kuwait. As for Saudi Arabian oil, it is ours. Throughout the 1950s Anglo-American strategy rested on…

The Graceful and Generous Liberal Gesture
The task is indeed urgent, for the white man’s prestige in the old sense of the word, has become greatly weakened...Well do I remember, as though it were yesterday, the impression made upon my mind when, as a young lecturer in Ancient History at Oxford, I read of the first great victory of the Japanese over the Russians. I went into my class and told them I was going to lay aside Greek history for that morning, ‘because’, I said, ‘I feel I must s…

When Capitalists Collide
Robert Vitalis's empirically rich study challenges the left-nationalist paradigm through which twentieth-century Egyptian history and politics has generally been interpreted. He argues with those who explain Egyptian economic development primarily in terms of class and of power struggles between British and Egyptian entrepreneurs and politicians. Vitalis offers a rare, detailed view of the objectives and political strategies of both international…

On the Theory and Practice of Compradors
One of the most resilient ideas introduced to the analysis of economic and political change under colonialism and imperialism is the “comprador” and, by extension, the “comprador bourgeoisie.” The comprador in essence embodies or internalizes the basic theoretical problem of the peripheral political economy: economic activity oriented primarily for the benefit of the other. 1 By strict definition, compradors are native agents or partners of forei…

The Struggle for Peace
Business conflict, collaboration, and privilege in interwar Egypt
Elizabeth Perry begins her chapter in this volume – “Labor Divided: Sources of State Formation in Modern China” – with an insightful summary of recent trends in the historiography of working classes. She argues that in reaction to the “unfulfilled promises of Marxism,” recent generations of labor studies “have been obsessed with ‘why not’ questions: Why did workers not develop a class identity? Why did workers ... not flock to radical political p…
