Förlagets beskrivning
An essential starting point for anyone wanting to learn about life in the largest empire in history, this two-volume work encapsulates the imperial experience from the 16th-21st centuries. * Provides primary sources that give voice to the people who ran, opposed, and were subjects of the British Empire * Consolidates the most up-to-date research from established and emerging scholars in the field in many countries and at many institutions * Includes a detailed introduction that succinctly puts the British Empire into historical context * Offers a chronology of events and episodes important to both the rise and fall of the British Empire * Provides a broad range of perspectives that focus not only on the white men who controlled the British Empire but also on the many people-such as women, indigenous peoples, poor Europeans, and Christian missionaries-who formed it * Avoids simplistic assessments of British imperialism as merely "good" or "bad, " emanating an objectivity that enables readers to develop their own ideas about the nature of the empire
