Abstract

When European powers colonised the globe, they spread not only political power but also ideas. Yet those within colonised societies did not receive those ideas passively. They instead sought to transform or repurpose them, often in surprising or ambiguous ways. This volume illustrates a variety of examples worthy of further study.

Abstract

The Mongols emerged from obscurity to establish the largest contiguous empire in history. Although they are now no longer viewed as simply an unbridled force of destruction, it remains unclear as to how they succeeded in ruling an empire that stretched from the Sea of Japan to the Black Sea. This book investigates how the Mongol adopted and adapted different ruling strategies from previous Inner Asian empires as well as Chinese and Islamic Empires to rule an empire in which they were a distinct minority, and also investigates the processes by which this empire fragmented into an increasing number of states, many of which lasted into the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

Abstract

The notion of the "Silk Road" that the German geographer Ferdinand von Richthofen invented in the 19th century has lost attraction to scholars in light of large amounts of new evidence and new approaches. The handbook suggests new conceptual and methodological tools for researching ancient economic exchange in a global perspective with a strong focus on recent debates on the nature of pre-modern empires.The interdisciplinary team of Chinese, Indian and Graeco-Roman historians, archaeologists and anthropologists that has written this handbook compares different forms of economic development in agrarian and steppe regions in a period of accelerated empire formation during 300 BCE and 300 CE. It investigates inter-imperial zones and networks of exchange which were crucial for ancient Eurasian connections.Volume I provides a comparative history of the most important empires forming in Northern Africa, Europe and Asia between 300 BCE and 300 CE. It surveys a wide range of evidence that can be brought to bear on economic development in the these empires, and takes stock of the ways academic traditions have shaped different understandings of economic and imperial development as well as Silk-Road exchange in Russia, China, India and Western Graeco-Roman history.

Abstract

Imperialism as we knew it may be no more, but Empire is alive and well. It is, as Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri demonstrate in this bold work, the new political order of globalization. Their book shows how this emerging Empire is fundamentally different from the imperialism of European dominance and capitalist expansion in previous eras. Rather, today's Empire draws on elements of U.S. constitutionalism, with its tradition of hybrid identities and expanding frontiers. More than analysis, Empire is also an unabashedly utopian work of political philosophy.

Abstract

Jeremy Bentham and Australia is a collection of scholarship inspired by Bentham's writings on Australia. These writings are available for the first time in authoritative form in Panopticon versus New South Wales and other writings on Australia, a volume in The Collected Works of Jeremy Bentham published by UCL Press. In the present collection, a distinguished group of authors reflect on Bentham's Australian writings, making original contributions to existing debates and setting agendas for future ones. In the first part of the collection, the works are placed in their historical contexts, while the second part provides a critical assessment of the historical accuracy and plausibility of Bentham's arguments against transportation from the British Isles. In the third part, attention turns to Bentham's claim that New South Wales had been illegally founded and to the imperial and colonial constitutional ramifications of that claim. Here, authors also discuss Bentham's work of 1831 in which he supports the establishment of a free colony on the southern coast of Australia. In the final part, authors shed light on the history of Bentham's panopticon penitentiary scheme, his views on the punishment and reform of criminals and what role, if any, religion had to play in that regard, and discuss apparently panopticon-inspired institutions built in the Australian colonies. This collection will appeal to readers interested in Bentham's life and thought, the history of transportation from the British Isles, and of British penal policy more generally, colonial and imperial history, Indigenous history, legal and constitutional history, and religious history.

Abstract

Colonialist Photography is an absorbing collection of essays and photographs exploring the relationship between photography and European and American colonialism. The book is packed with well over a hundred captivating images, ranging from the first experiments with photography as a documentary medium up to the decolonization of many regions after World War II.Reinforcing a broad range of Western assumptions and prejudices, Eleanor M. Hight and Gary D. Sampson argue that such images often assisted in the construction of a colonial culture.

Abstract

El presente libro versa sobre el papel de la Iglesia católica y sus misiones en los Imperios ibéricos del siglo xix y el primer tercio del siglo xx. En concreto, aborda las relaciones entre el poder civil y el eclesiástico en contextos coloniales en un período de intensa modernización de las estructuras imperiales. Con una perspectiva comparada entre los distintos espacios que componían los diferentes imperios, la obra refleja el papel que desempeñan los misioneros como un cuerpo intermedio entre colonizadores y colonizados, siempre en contacto e interacción con las poblaciones locales, así como la compleja relación entre el poder colonial y las misiones religiosas. El indudable apoyo mutuo partía de intereses que eran en parte divergentes, lo cual provocó conflictos en no pocas ocasiones. Todo ello en el marco de una relación Iglesia-Estado que, en las mismas metrópolis, no careció de importantes roces y dificultades. Ce livre traite des relations entre le pouvoir civil et l'Église catholique dans les colonies des empires ibériques pendant une période de modernisation intense des structures impériales. En effet, les puissances coloniales ont été confrontées à l’épineuse question de la place des clergés – missionnaire et séculier – dans des projets coloniaux que les autorités politiques prétendaient désormais contrôler étroitement en monopolisant la gestion du bien commun. Dans des empires où la religion et le clergé ont occupé une place centrale dès la conquête, comme dans le cas ibérique, ce nouveau rapport de force engendre des tensions et des conflits. L'œuvre reflète le rôle des missionnaires en tant que corps intermédiaire entre colonisateurs et colonisés, toujours en contact et en interaction avec les populations locales, ainsi que la relation complexe entre le pouvoir colonial et les missions religieuses.
