| Summary |
"Filling a major gap in historical, literary, and post-colonial scholarship, Imperialisms examines, early identity statements and nuances of dominance of the world's major imperialisms in various theatres of competition. Developed in collaboration with leading scholars in the field, this book balances historical essays and case studies, and encourages investigations of conversant and competing imperialisms, their practices, and their rhetoric of self-justification."--BOOK JACKET |
