It synthesizes recent developments in the study of European empires and provides new perspectives on European colonialism and the challenges to it. With a post-1800 focus and extensive background coverage tracing the subject to the early 1700s, the book charts the rise and eclipse of European empires. Robert Aldrich and Andreas Stucki integrate innovative approaches and findings from the 'new imperial history' and look at both the colonial era and the legacies it left behind for countries around the world after they gained independence. Dividing the text into three complementary sections, Aldrich and Stucki offer an original approach to the subject that allows you to explore: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- Different eras of colonisation and decolonisation from early modern European colonialism to the present day \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- Overarching themes in colonial history, like 'land and sea', 'the body' and 'representations of colonialism' \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- A global range of snapshot colonial case studies, such as Peru (1780), India (1876), The South Pacific (1903), the Dutch East Indies (1938) and the Portuguese empire in Africa (1971) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is \u003ci\u003ethe\u003c\/i\u003e essential text for anyone seeking to understand the nature and complexities of modern European imperialism and its aftermath.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobert Aldrich\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor Emeritus in the Department of History at the University of Sydney, Australia.
