This collection brings together twenty-one articles that explore
the diverse impact of modern empires on societies around the world
since 1800. Colonial expansion changed the lives of colonised
peoples in multiple ways relating to work, the environment, law,
health and religion. Yet empire-builders were never working with a
blank slate: colonial rule involved not just coercion but also
forms of cooperation with elements of local society, while the
schemes of the colonisers often led to unexpected outcomes.
Covering not only western European nations but also the Ottomans,
Russians and Japanese, whose empires are less frequently addressed
in collections, this volume provides insight into a crucial aspect
of modern world history.
