The Absent-Minded Imperialists: Empire, Society, and Culture in Britain
ISBN: 9780199299591 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 504 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The British empire was a huge enterprise. To foreigners it more or less defined Britain in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Its repercussions in the wider world are still with us today. One might expect this to have been reflected in her society and culture. This is the first book to examine this assumption critically against the broader background of contemporary British society. Bernard Porter, a leading imperial historian, argues that the empire had a far lower profile in Britain than it did abroad. He argues that though Britain was an imperial nation in this period, she was...

British Imperial: What the Empire Wasn T
ISBN: 9781784534455 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The British Empire is often misunderstood. Judgments of it differ widely, from broadly adulatory a great enterprise, spreading civilization through the world; to the blame that is often put on it for most of the world s ills today, including racism, exploitation and the problems of the Middle East. In this provocative book, Bernard Porter argues that many of these judgments arise from some fundamental misreadings of the nature, causes and effects of British imperialism, which was a more complex, ambivalent and in some ways accidental phenomenon than it is often taken to be. Drawing on his...

The Refugee Question in Mid-Victorian Politics
ISBN: 9780521088152 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The British have long boasted of their tradition of asylum for political refugees, but never with more justification than in the nineteenth century, when the legal toleration which was accorded them in Britain was nearly absolute. Not only were fugitives of all political complexions allowed into Britain, but there was for most of the century no possible way - no law on the statute book - by which they could be kept out. This, and the licence which was allowed them to agitate and conspire were greatly resented by the governments from which they had fled, and regretted only a little less by...

Empire Ways: Aspects of British Imperialism
ISBN: 9781784534462 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The British Empire was an astonishingly complex and varied phenomenon, not to be reduced to any of the simple generalisations or theories that are often taken to characterise it. One way of illustrating this, and so conveying some of the subtle flavour of the thing itself, is to descend from the over-arching to the particular, and describe and discuss aspects of it in detail. This book, by the well-known imperial historian Bernard Porter, ranges among a wide range of the events and personalities that shaped or were shaped by British imperialism, or by its decline in the post-war years. These...
