Recenzje

"Reinventing the British World provides us with a series of essays that both challenge and expand our understanding of what it meant to be British, both in the United Kingdom and overseas, during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The essays range widely over time and draw upon case studies from Australasia, Canada, India, and the United Kingdom. Written by a mixture of established scholars, early career researchers, and doctoral students, the essays bring new voices and a fresh perspective to the field of British World Studies and show its continuing importance." -Phillip Buckner, Emeritus Professor of History, University of New Brunswick
