The contributors to this volume critique and abandon the limiting
assumption that the European colonialism of the late nineteenth and
early twentieth centuries can be taken as the representative form
of imperialism. Recasting the study of imperial governance, forms
of sovereignty, and the imperial state, the authors pay close
attention to non-European empires and the active trade in ideas,
practices, and technologies among empires, as well as between
metropolitan regions and far-flung colonies. The Ottoman, Russian,
Chinese, Spanish, and Japanese empires provide provocative case
studies that challenge the temporal and conceptual framework within
which colonial studies usually operates. Was the Soviet Union an
empire or a nation-state? What of Tibet, only recently colonized
but long engaged with several imperial powers? Imperial Formations
alters our understanding of past empires the better to understand
the way that complex history shapes the politics of the present
imperial juncture.
