This fifth and final volume of The Oxford History of the British Empire shows how opinions have changed dramatically over the generations about the nature, role, and value of imperialism generally, and the British Empire more specifically.In these pages, a distinguished team of scholarly contributors discuss the many and diverse elements that have influenced writings on the Empire. Topics in this vein include the pressure of current events, access to primary sources, the creation of relevant university chairs, the rise of nationalism in former colonies, decolonization, and the Cold War. The chapters aim to demonstrate how the study of empire has evolved from a narrow focus on constitutional issues to a wide-ranging, multi-faceted inquiry into international relations, the uses of power, and the influences and counter-influences between settler groups and native peoples. The result is a thought-provoking cultural and intellectual discourse on how we understand the past, and whether this understanding might affect the way we behave in the future.About the seriesThe Oxford History of the British Empire is a major new assessment of the Empire in the light of recent scholarship and the progressive opening of historical records. It deals with the interaction of British and non-western societies from the Elizabethan era to the late twentieth century, aiming to provide a balanced treatment of the ruled as well as the rulers, and to take into account the significance of the Empire for the peoples of the British Isles. All five of the volumes in this series fully explore economic and social trends as well as political ones. ER -
