19th-century British imperial expansion dramatically shaped today's
globalised world. Imperialism encouraged mass migrations of people,
shifting flora, fauna, and commodities around the world and led to
a series of radical environmental changes never before experienced
in history. "Eco-Cultural Networks in the British Empire" explores
how these networks shaped ecosystems, cultures and societies
throughout the British Empire, and how they were themselves
transformed by local and regional conditions.This multi-authored
volume begins with a rigorous theoretical analysis of the
categories of 'empire' and 'imperialism'. Its chapters, written by
leading scholars in the field, draw methodologically from recent
studies in environmental history, post-colonial theory, and the
history of science. Together, these perspectives provide a
comprehensive historical understanding of how the British Empire
reshaped the globe during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
This book will be an important addition to the literature on
British imperialism and global ecological change.
