The story of Celso Cesare Moreno, one of the most famous of the emigrant Italian elites or "prominenti." Moreno traveled the world lying, scheming, and building an extensive patron/client network to to establish his reputation as a middleman and person of significance. Through his machinations, Moreno became a critical player in the expansion of western trade and imperialism in Asia, the trafficking of migrant workers and children in the Atlantic, and the conflicts of Americans and natives over the fate of Hawaii, and imperial competitions of French, British, Italian and American governments during a critically important era of imperial expansion.

À peu près passée sous silence en Occident, le Japon connaît pourtant une longue tradition de personnalités engagées, capables de jeter sur leur société un regard aigu, souvent pertinent, et même parfois assez radical. Sont réunis ici des textes publiés avant guerre par des journalistes, des universitaires ou des militants qui critiquent les orientations prises par leur propre gouvernement dans les colonies de l'Empire du Grand Japon, et qui s’inscrivent dans une tradition de résistance aux discours convenus de l’État, dans un contexte parfois difficile, face à la censure, à la pression sociale, au conformisme du temps. À l’heure où les tensions en Extrême-Orient autour de la mémoire de la colonisation japonaise et de la guerre font l’actualité, il n’est pas inutile de redonner la parole à ceux qui, autrefois au Japon, eurent le courage de s’opposer et de dire non aux orientations politiques de l’État impérial.

The Victorian Soldier in Africa re-examines the campaign experience of British soldiers in Africa during the period, 1874--1902-the zenith of the Victorian imperial expansion-and does so from the perspective of the regimental soldier. The book utilises an unprecedented number of letters and diaries, written by regimental officers and other ranks, to allow soldiers to speak for themselves about their experience of colonial warfare. The sources demonstrate the adaptability of the British army in fighting in different climates, over demanding terrain and against a diverse array of enemies. They also uncover soldiers' responses to army reforms of the era as well as the response to the introduction of new technologies of war. Moreover, the book provides commentary on soldiers' views of commanding officers and politicians alongside assessment of war correspondents, colonial auxiliaries and African natives in their roles as bearers, allies and enemies. This book reveals new insights on imperial and racial attitudes within the army, on relations between soldiers and the media and the production of information and knowledge from frontline to homefront. It will make fascinating reading for students, academics and enthusiasts in imperial history, Victorian studies, military history and colonial warfare.
