The Trouble with Empire: Challenges to Modern British Imperialism
ISBN: 9780199936601 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Trouble with Empire contends that dissent and disruption were constant features of imperial experience and that they should, therefore, drive narratives of the modern British imperial past. Moving across the one hundred years between the first Anglo-Afghan war and Gandhi's salt marches, the book tracks commonalities between different forms of resistance in order to understand how regimes of imperial security worked in practice. This emphasis on protest and struggle is intended not only to reveal indigenous agency but to illuminate the limits of imperial power, official and...

ISBN: 9780807844717 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 318 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In this study of British middle-class feminism in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Antoinette Burton explores an important but neglected historical dimension of the relationship between feminism and imperialism.

According to Burton, Victorian and Edwardian feminists such as Josephine Butler, Millicent Garrett Fawcett, and Mary Carpenter believed that...

From a variety of historically grounded perspectives, After the Imperial Turn assesses the fate of the nation as a subject of disciplinary inquiry.

An ABC of Queen Victoria's Empire: Or a Primer of Conquest, Dissent and Disruption
ISBN: 9781474230155 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. An ABC of Queen Victoria's Empire offers a provocative rewriting of Mrs. Ernest Ames' ABCs for Baby Patriots (1899). Whimsically illustrated for the nursery or primary school child, Ames' book demonstrates how deeply imperialism reached into popular culture during Victoria's reign.
This book presents a rather darker view of Victoria's empire, beginning with the wars in Afghanistan and ending with Zam-Zammeh, the large-bore cannon that Kipling's hero sat astride at the opening of his 1901 novel, Kim. It signposts some of the key events, concepts, places and people that... An ABC of Queen Victoria's Empire offers a provocative rewriting of Mrs. Ernest Ames' ABCs for Baby Patriots (1899).

Dwelling in the Archive: Women Writing House, Home, and History in Late Colonial India
ISBN: 9780195144253 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Dwelling in the Archives uses the writing of three 20th century Indian women to interrogate the status of the traditional archive, reading their memoirs, fictions, and histories as counter-narratives of colonial modernity. Janaki Majumdar was the daughter of the first president of the Indian National Congress. Her unpublished "Family History" (1935) stages the story of her parents' transnational marriage as a series of homes the family inhabited in Britain and India -- thereby providing a heretofore unavailable narrative of the domestic face of 19th century Indian nationalism....

Archive Stories: Facts, Fictions, and the Writing of History
ISBN: 9780822336884 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Despite the importance of archives to the profession of history, there is very little written about actual encounters with them about the effect that the researcher s race, gender, or class may have on her experience within them or about the impact that archival surveillance, architecture, or bureaucracy might have on the histories that are ultimately written. This provocative collection initiates a vital conversation about how archives around the world are constructed, policed, manipulated, and experienced. It challenges the claims to objectivity associated with the traditional archive by...

Africa in the Indian Imagination: Race and the Politics of Postcolonial Citation
ISBN: 9780822361671 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In Africa in the Indian Imagination Antoinette Burton reframes our understanding of the postcolonial Afro-Asian solidarity that emerged from the 1955 Bandung conference. Afro-Asian solidarity is best understood, Burton contends, by using friction as a lens to expose the racial, class, gender, sexuality, caste, and political tensions throughout the postcolonial global South. Focusing on India's imagined relationship with Africa, Burton historicizes Africa's role in the emergence of a coherent postcolonial Indian identity. She shows how--despite Bandung's rhetoric of equality and...

From portrayals of African women s bodies in early modern European travel accounts to the relation between celibacy and Indian nationalism to the fate of the Korean comfort women forced into prostitution by the occupying Japanese army during the Second World War, the essays collected in Bodies in Contact demonstrate how a focus on the body as a site of cultural encounter provides essential insights into world history.
