Opis

This transnational account of colonialism at the margins reveals why frontiers are key to understanding imperial anxieties and conflicts. This book is the first monograph to explore Yucatan's Caste War of 1847-1901 in the context of frontiers and borderlands studies, British history, and imperial and colonial studies.

Recenzje

'Empire on Edge is overall a necessary and insightful contribution to scholarship on British imperial interventions in Latin America, particularly in Belize, given its exceptional status as both a Caribbean and Central American nation.' Marisa Palacios Knox, Victorian Studies
