Stirring language and appeals to collective action were integral to
the battles fought to defend empires and to destroy them. These
wars of words used rhetoric to make their case. That rhetoric is
the subject of this collection of essays exploring the arguments
fought over empire in a wide variety of geographic, political,
social and cultural contexts. Why did imperialist language remain
so pervasive in Britain, France and elsewhere throughout much of
the twentieth century? What rhetorical devices did political
leaders, administrators, investors and lobbyists use to justify
colonial domination before domestic and foreign audiences? How far
did their colonial opponents mobilize a different rhetoric of
rights and freedoms to challenge them? These questions are at the
heart of this collection. Essays range from Theodore Roosevelt's
articulation of American imperialism in the early 1900s to the
rhetorical battles surrounding European decolonization in the late
twentieth century. -- .
