Weaving U.S. history into the larger fabric of world history, the
contributors to Crossing Empires de-exceptionalize the American
empire, placing it in a global transimperial context. They draw
attention to the breadth of U.S. entanglements with other empires
to illuminate the scope and nature of American global power as it
reached from the Bering Sea to Australia and East Africa to the
Caribbean. With case studies ranging from the 1830s to the late
twentieth century, the contributors address topics including
diplomacy, governance, anticolonialism, labor, immigration,
medicine, religion, and race. Their transimperial approach-whether
exemplified in examinations of U.S. steel corporations partnering
with British imperialists to build the Ugandan railway or the U.S.
reliance on other empires in its governance of the
Philippines-transcends histories of interimperial rivalries and
conflicts. In so doing, the contributors illuminate the power
dynamics of seemingly transnational histories and the imperial
origins of contemporary globality. Contributors. Ikuko Asaka,
Oliver Charbonneau, Genevieve Clutario, Anne L. Foster, Julian Go,
Michel Gobat, Julie Greene, Kristin L. Hoganson, Margaret D.
