This book explores the theme of violence, repression and atrocity
in imperial and colonial empires, as well as its representations
and memories, from the late eighteenth through to the twentieth
century. It examines the wide variety of violent means by which
colonies and empire were maintained in the modern era, the politics
of repression and the violent structures inherent in empire.
Bringing together scholars from around the world, the book includes
chapters on British, French, Dutch, Italian and Japanese colonies
and conquests. It considers multiple experiences of colonial
violence, ranging from political dispute to the non-lethal violence
of everyday colonialism and the symbolic repression inherent in
colonial practices and hierarchies. These comparative case studies
show how violence was used to assert and maintain control in the
colonies, contesting the long held view that the colonial project
was of benefit to colonised peoples.
