Starting with the premise that Europe was made by its imperial
projects as much as colonial encounters were shaped by events and
conflicts in Europe, the contributors to "Tensions of Empire"
investigate metropolitan-colonial relationships from a new
perspective. The fifteen essays demonstrate various ways in which
civilizing missions in both metropolis and colony provided new
sites for clarifying a bourgeois order. Focusing on the eighteenth,
nineteenth, and early twentieth centuries, they show how new
definitions of modernity and welfare were developed and how new
discourses and practices of inclusion and exclusion were contested
and worked out. The contributors argue that colonial studies can no
longer be confined to the units of analysis on which it once
relied; instead of being the study of the colonized, it must
account for the shifting political terrain on which the very
categories of colonized and colonizer have been shaped and
patterned at different times.
