Contact, Conquest and Colonization brings together international
historians and literary studies scholars in order to explore the
force of practices of comparing in shaping empires and colonial
relations at different points in time and around the globe.
Whenever there was cultural contact in the context of European
colonization and empire-building, historical records teem with
comparisons among those cultures. This edited volume focuses on
what historical agents actually do when they compare, rather than
on comparison as an analytic method. Its contributors are thus
interested in the 'doing of comparison', and explore the force of
these practices of comparing in shaping empires and (post-)colonial
relations between the sixteenth and twentieth centuries. This book
will appeal to students and scholars of global history, as well as
those interested in cultural history and the history of
colonialism.
