The essays in this collection show how histories written in the
past, in different political times, dealt with, considered, or
avoided and disavowed Britain's imperial role and issues of
difference. Ranging from enlightenment historians to the present,
these essays consider both individual historians, including such
key figures as E. A. Freeman, G. M. Trevelyan and Keith Hancock,
and also broader themes such as the relationship between
liberalism, race and historiography and how we might re-think
British history in the light of trans-national, trans-imperial and
cross-cultural analysis. 'Britishness' and what 'British' history
is have become major cultural and political issues in our time. But
as these essays demonstrate, there is no single national story:
race, empire and difference have pulsed through the writing of
British history. The contributors include some of the most
distinguished historians writing today: C. A. Bayly, Antoinette
Burton, Saul Dubow, Geoff Eley, Theodore Koditschek, Marilyn Lake,
John M. MacKenzie, Karen O'Brien, Sonya O. Rose, Bill Schwarz,
Kathleen Wilson. -- .
