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...

An ABC of Queen Victoria's Empire: Or a Primer of Conquest, Dissent and Disruption
ISBN: 9781474230162 / Angielski / Miękka / 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).

Africa in the Indian Imagination: Race and the Politics of Postcolonial Citation
ISBN: 9780822361480 / Angielski / Twarda / 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...

Burdens of History: British Feminists, Indian Women, and Imperial Culture, 1865-1915
ISBN: 9780807844717 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 318 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. 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. Demonstrating how feminists in the United Kingdom appropriated imperialistic ideology and rhetoric to justify their own right to equality, she reveals a variety of feminisms grounded in notions of moral and racial superiority. According to Burton, Victorian and Edwardian feminists such as Josephine Butler, Millicent Garrett Fawcett, and Mary Carpenter believed that...

The First Anglo-Afghan Wars: A Reader
ISBN: 9780822356622 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Designed for classroom use, The First Anglo-Afghan Wars gathers in one volume primary source materials related to the first two wars that Great Britain launched against native leaders of the Afghan region. From 1839 to 1842, and again from 1878 to 1880, Britain fought to expand its empire and prevent Russian expansion into the region's northwest frontier, which was considered the gateway to India, the jewel in Victorian Britain's imperial crown. Spanning from 1817 to 1919, the selections reflect the complex national, international, and anticolonial interests entangled in Central Asia...

After the Imperial Turn: Thinking with and Through the Nation
ISBN: 9780822331421 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 382 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. From a variety of historically grounded perspectives, After the Imperial Turn assesses the fate of the nation as a subject of disciplinary inquiry. In light of the turn toward scholarship focused on imperialism and postcolonialism, this provocative collection investigates whether the nation remains central, adequate, or even possible as an analytical category for studying history. These twenty essays, primarily by historians, exemplify cultural approaches to histories of nationalism and imperialism even as they critically examine the implications of such approaches.
While most of... From a variety of historically grounded perspectives, After the Imperial Turn assesses the fate of the nation as a subject of disciplinary inqu...

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....
