The notion of 'empire' has been at the forefront of world politics
for over a century. Bernard Porter's landmark work traces the
critical response to the British imperial project in the years
leading up to World War I. Imperial adventures, including the
intervention in Egypt and the Anglo-Boer War, together with the
jingoistic clamour that surrounded them, attracted powerful
hostility as well as support. "Criticism of Empire" is the subject
of Porter's stimulating book. Long regarded as the classic account,
the author has now added a substantial new Introduction. He
demonstrates the power and influence of major critics such as J.A.
Hobson - the acknowledged creator of the 'capitalist theory' of
imperialism - E.D. Morel and Mary Kingsley and of organisations
like the Congo Reform Association. With themes which are also
highly relevant to the present day discourse on the American
'empire', this book will prove essential reading for all students
of imperial and international history.
