The Routledge History of Western Empires is an all new volume
focusing on the history of Western Empires in a comparative and
thematic perspective. Comprising of thirty-three original chapters
arranged in eight thematic sections, the book explores European
overseas expansion from the Age of Discovery to the Age of
Decolonisation. Studies by both well-known historians and new
scholars offer fresh, accessible perspectives on a multitude of
themes ranging from colonialism in the Arctic to the scramble for
the coral sea, from attitudes to the environment in the East Indies
to plans for colonial settlement in Australasia. Chapters examine
colonial attitudes towards poisonous animals and the history of
colonial medicine, evangelisaton in Africa and Oceania, colonial
recreation in the tropics and the tragedy of the slave trade. The
Routledge History of Western Empires ranges over five centuries and
crosses continents and oceans highlighting transnational and
cross-cultural links in the imperial world and underscoring
connections between colonial history and world history. Through
lively and engaging case studies, contributors not only weigh in on
historiographical debates on themes such as human rights, religion
and empire, and the 'taproots' of imperialism, but also illustrate
the various approaches to the writing of colonial history. A vital
contribution to the field.
