"Tributary Empires in Global History" is one of a very select few
to pioneer comparisons between the great historical empires of
agrarian societies, such as the Roman, Mughal and Ottoman empires,
and others. As such, it is an exercise in global and comparative
history over time. It examines and interrogates our basic
historiographical, theoretical and comparative models and
conceptions about how large pre-colonial empires expanded, operated
and declined. In 14 chapters, all of them explicitly comparative, a
group of leading historians, sociologists and anthropologists
illuminate tributary empires from diverse perspectives ranging from
the character of the state and fiscal organization, to imperial
households, royal rituals, provincial societies as well as shared
historiographical traditions and tropes. In doing so, the essays
draw attention to the importance of these earlier forms form of
imperialism to broaden our perspective on modern concerns about
empire and the legacy of colonialism.
