A Cultural History of Western Empires in the Modern Age
A Cultural History of Western Empires in the Modern Age
Description
From ancient times to our modern age, western empires have shaped societies around the world. Imperial powers have impacted all aspects of human experience as well as the natural world; from trade patterns and migration to sexuality, race and the environment. A Cultural History of Western Empires seeks to explore the role of culture in shaping how empire took root, took shape, was maintained and challenged.
This volume explores the cultural history of western empires in the modern age through eight carefully chosen themes; war, trade, natural worlds, labor, mobility, sexuality, resistance and race across eight chapters. Richly illustrated, it explores the cultural history of empire during the war-torn 20th century when European empires were undone and the United States rose to prominence.
A Cultural History of Western Empires presents historians, and scholars and students of related fields, with the first comprehensive and interdisciplinary overview of the cultural history of empire from ancient times to modernity.
