Imperial Island
The Empire of Climate
Given the growing threat that climate change poses for the future of humanity, Livingstone’s magisterial survey of historical ideas about climate’s impact on individuals and societies could not be more timely or cautionary. Due attention is given to Hippocrates, Ibn Khaldun, Montesquieu, and other classic progenitors of ideas about climate’s power over people, but the book’s primary focus is on the plethora of mainly Western scientists, philosoph…
The Magic Mountains
The Cambridge History of Nationhood and Nationalism
This major new reference work with contributions from an international team of scholars provides a comprehensive account of ideas and practices of nationhood and nationalism from antiquity to the present. It considers both continuities and discontinuities, engaging critically and analytically with the scholarly literature in the field. Volume I starts with a series of case studies of classical civilizations. It then explores a wide range of pivot…
Mungo Park's Ghost
In 1816 the British sent two large, ambitious expeditions to Africa, one to follow the Niger River to its outlet, the other to trace the Congo River to its source. Their shared goal was to complete the unfinished mission of Mungo Park, who had disappeared during a journey to determine whether the Niger and the Congo were the same river. Both quests ended disastrously and were soon forgotten. Telling the full story of these failed expeditions for …

The Dream of Greater Britain
This article examines the enduring influence of Charles Dilke’s Greater Britain (1868), which persists today in the ambitions of Brexit’s proponents. Dilke characterized Britain as the center of a world system bound together by a common identity. Yet his explanation of that identity was riddled with inconsistencies. While he cast it mainly in racial terms, he also proposed cultural and linguistic criteria. These inconsistencies would complicate t…
The Gun, the Ship, and the Pen
The central question that Colley asks in her new book is how written constitutions became such a prevalent feature of modern politics and polities. Her answer is in some respects a familiar one, but in other ways it is strikingly original. Although the United States, France, and other countries that served as fulcrums for the age of revolution certainly loom large in the first half of her book, this book is decidedly not a celebratory story of co…
Bringing Africans into the British Narrative of African Exploration
It is rare to read a work as rigorously interdisciplinary in its methods and objectives as Adrian Wisnicki’s Fieldwork of Empire. Making skilful use of evidence and insights from African history (including oral history), anthropology, cartography, historical geography, and literature, this is a work that defies disciplinary categorization. Although the author holds a PhD in English, teaches in an English department, and addresses issues related t…
Jeremy C. Martens. Empire and Asian Migration
A populist movement driven by white supremacist sentiments spurs governmental authorities to tighten restrictions on entry into the country by nonwhite immigrants. Sound familiar? In this case, the movement under scrutiny swept through the white settler colonies of the British Empire in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. While Jeremy C. Martens is far from the first historian to investigate this subject, his careful, granular anal…

In this volume Dane Kennedy offers a wide-ranging assessment of the main schools of thought that have transformed the way we view the British Empire and the world it helped to create Navigating a clear course t…

Decolonization
Decolonization is the term commonly used to refer to this transition from a world of colonial empires to a world of nation-states in the years after World War II. Decolonization: A Very Short Introduction demonstrates that this process involved considerable violence and instability. It highlights three themes: first, that global war between empires precipitated decolonization, creating the economic and political crises that gave colonial subjects…

Imperial continuities and the politics of amnesia
‘Imperial continuities and the politics of amnesia’ shows that there are still continuities between the colonial past and the postcolonial present that can be discerned at multiple levels. Continuities have informed political agendas and economic policies in the Third World, as well as the First. They have colored ideological and cultural debates in both regions and have animated the recent recovery of painful, long buried memories on the part of…
Global war’s colonial consequences
‘Global war’s colonial consequences’ shows that the Second World War produced disorder and destruction on an unprecedented scale, destabilizing states and societies across much of the world. While Germany and Japan failed in their bids to build vast new empires, the established European colonial empires (especially Britain, France, and the Netherlands) found their own imperial authority fatally weakened as well. The war simultaneously eroded the …

Entanglements of Empire: Missionaries, Maori, and the Question of the Body, by Tony Ballantyne. Durham, Duke University Press, 2014. xii, 360 pp. $94.95 US (cloth), $26.95 US (paper). Missionary histories were once rather sleepy and specialized works, often draped in denominational garb. No more. Over the past two decades, and especially as a consequence of the cultural turn, a growing number of historians have turned their attention to the encou…
Indigenous Intermediaries
In the European imagination, the archetypal Indigenous intermediary was Robinson Crusoe’s Friday, a virtual cypher who was characterised above all by his devotion and subservience to his ‘master’

While the title of this challenging book suggests another study of liberalism’s embrace of imperialism along the lines laid out by Uday Mehta, Jennifer Pitts, and others, the subtitle hints at its far more am…
How Empire Shaped Us
Few historical subjects have generated such intense and sustained interest in recent decades as the history of empires. While historians have approached this subject in very different ways, their shared preoccupation with the British imperial experience—its institutions, ideas and impact on peoples around the world—has endured and given rise to a rich, varied, and influential body of historical scholarship. What accounts for this preoccupation? W…

The Magic Mountains
Perched among peaks that loom over heat-shimmering plains, hill stations remain among the most curious monuments to the British colonial presence in India. In this engaging and meticulously researched study, Dane Kennedy explores the development and history of the hill stations of the raj. He shows that these cloud-enshrouded havens were sites of both refuge and surveillance for British expatriates: sanctuaries from the harsh climate as well as a…

The Imperial History Wars
The key question posed by this essay is why historians' interest in Britain's imperial past has increased rather than diminished in recent decades. It argues that this interest has been sustained in part by a preoccupation with certain contemporary social and political issues, and differences of opinion about these issues have helped fuel the “imperial history wars.” The nature of the debate has differed for American- and British-based historians…

Captain Burton's Oriental Muck Heap”
In the final decade of his remarkable life, the Victorian explorer and linguist Richard Francis Burton made a daring bid to provoke a confrontation with those forces in British society that he identified with moral intolerance and intellectual pedantry. Unlikely though it might seem, the instrument of this provocation was a work widely regarded as children's literature—the tales of the Arabian Nights. In 1885–86, Burton published a ten-volume tra…

British Exploration in the Nineteenth Century
This article examines the historiography on nineteenth‐century British exploration, tracing major themes in the scholarship on the subject. It credits the work of Edward Said, Mary Louise Pratt, and Paul Carter as the main inspiration for the resurgence of academic interest in the history and literature of travel and exploration, though it also indicates that there are important limitations to the approach they pioneered. The article then traces …
