This volume explores how imperial powers established and expanded
their empires through decisions that were often based on
exaggerated expectations and wishful thinking, rather than on
reasoned and scientific policies. It explores these exaggerations
through the concepts of El Dorado, utopias and dystopias -
undertakings based on irrational perceived values - in case studies
from across the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries, and
incorporates imperial traditions including Scottish, British,
French, German, Italian and American. Various colonial spaces are
considered, from the Mediterranean, Middle East, Africa, Australia,
Asia and the Americas, and in doing so, the contributors offer new
insights into the nature of imperialism and colonial settlement. --
