A comprehensive volume that interrogates European imperialism from
the perspective of indigenous experiences. The contributors to
Facing Empire reimagine the Age of Revolution from the perspective
of indigenous peoples. Rather than treating indigenous peoples as
distant and passive players in the political struggles of the time,
this book argues that they helped create and exploit the volatility
that marked an era while playing a central role in the profound
acceleration in encounters and contacts between peoples around the
world. Focusing in particular on indigenous peoples' experiences of
the British Empire, this volume takes a unique comparative approach
in thinking about how indigenous peoples shaped, influenced,
redirected, ignored, and sometimes even forced the course of modern
imperialism. The essays demonstrate how indigenous-shaped local
exchanges, cultural relations, and warfare provoked discussion and
policymaking in London as much as it did in Charleston, Cape Town,
or Sydney. Facing Empire charts a fresh way forward for historians
of empire, indigenous studies, and the Age of Revolution and shows
why scholars can no longer continue to exclude indigenous peoples
from histories of the modern world. These past conflicts over land
and water, labor and resources, and hearts and minds have left a
living legacy of contested relations that continue to resonate in
contemporary politics and societies today. Covering the Indian and
Pacific Oceans, Australia, and West and South Africa, as well as
North America, this book looks at the often misrepresented and
underrepresented complexity of the indigenous experience on a
global scale. Contributors: Tony Ballantyne, Justin Brooks, Colin
