. . . a pioneer reconnaissance of the notion of colonial identity
in the post-Columbian world.--B. W. Higman, The Journal of American
History It is these creoles, colonials' as opposed to the
colonised, ' who form the subjects of Canny and Pagden's
intelligent new book. In its compact pages we watch the {colonials}
attempting to work out who' and just how new/old' they were during
centuries unhaunted by the spectre of nationalism.--Benedict
Anderson, London Review of Books The prolonged death throes of
Europe's last overseas empires have stimulated a lively historical
interest in the roots of decolonialization. The theme is taken up
in this elegantly written and admirably edited volume in which
Nicholas Canny and Anthony Pagden bring together a team of
specialists to examine how, in the major Atlantic empires prior to
the independence movements of the late eighteenth and early
nineteenth centuries, colonies came to see themselves as possessing
their own particular characteristics, and the bearing this had on
those revolutions. . . . The editors and contributors are to be
congratulated on this rich and rewarding book, essential reading
for anyone interested in imperial history.--Geoffrey Scammell, The
Times Higher Education Supplement
