Opis

These essays are in honour of David Fieldhouse, economic historian of the modern British empire. The subjects range across the economic and administrative fields of British imperial history from the late 1700s, embracing Africa and Asia, the Caribbean and the Pacific. Many essays address Fieldhouse's own areas of scholarly engagement: colonialism, economics and business, strategies of rule, and decolonization. Others survey Fieldhouse's published work and assess it historiographically in the context of theories of imperialism and post-colonial studies.

International History Review- " It must have been a daunting challenge to try to honour David Fieldhouse, who ranks among the top three or four living historians of British imperial history ...This collection of essays, however, fully meets the challenge, and can be read in its entirety as a kind of progress report on British imperial history and the state of its scholarship, controversies, and interpretations."
