Exporting Empire: Africa, Colonial Officials and the Construction of the British Imperial State, C.1900-39
ISBN: 9780719099298 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For Africans, rank and file colonial officials - the 'men on the spot' - were the most visible manifestation of Britain's imperial presence on their continent. For Britons, over time officials came to be celebrated as exemplars of a noble commitment to altruistic overseas duty. But in spite of their importance in administering such vast imperial territories, the attitudes of officials who served between the end of the 'Scramble for Africa' and the Second World War, as well as what shaped such attitudes, have yet to be examined in any systematic manner. A great deal of research has been...

Coleridge, himself tried to earn a living as a writer and teacher, but his own disposition, the result of a difficult upbringing during which his frequently absent father used him as the subject of scientific and psychological research, made it difficult for him to function in the real world, and he relied for much of his life on the charity of friends for both income and home. This 1833 work on the 'lives of distinguished northerns' was originally commissioned by a publisher who subsequently went bankrupt, but the...

The 1956 Suez War and the New World Order in the Middle East: Exodus in Reverse
ISBN: 9780739187203 / Angielski / Twarda / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The 1956 Suez War, fought between Egypt and the improbable coalition of Britain, France, and Israel, was a key point in the history of the Middle East and the Arab-Israeli conflict. A blitzkrieg-style Israeli victory proved that Israel's victory in the 1948 war was not an accident to be swiftly fixed by Arab armies, and gave the country eleven years of relative peace until the next major conflict. An Anglo-French blunder marked the decline of British and French influence in the Middle East, to be replaced by Soviet and US involvement. Egyptian defiance of the great powers of the past marked...

A Tale of Two Capitalisms offers a timely response to these questions by reexamining the intellectual history of capitalist economics during the nineteenth century.
