This collection moves beyond the Euro-centric slant of colonial studies to compare European and non-European empires with socialist states and empire beyond colonialism.
The contributors to this volume criticise and abandon the assumption that European colonialism of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centureis can be taken as the representative form of imperialism. Recasting the study of imperial governance, forms of sovereignty,and the imperialstate, the authors pay close attention to non-European empires and the active trade in ideas, practices, and technologies, as well as between metropolitan regions and far flung colonies.
