How did the major European imperial powers and indigenous
populations experience imperialism and colonisation in the period
1880-1960? In this richly-illustrated comparative account, Robin
Butlin provides a comprehensive overview of the experiences of
individual European imperial powers - British, French, Dutch,
Spanish, Portuguese, Belgian, German and Italian - and the
reactions of indigenous peoples. He explores the complex processes
and discourses of colonialism, conquest and resistance from the
height of empire through to decolonisation and sets these within
the dynamics of the globalisation of political and economic power
systems. He sheds new light on variations in the timing, nature and
locations of European colonisations and on key themes such as
exploration and geographical knowledge; maps and mapping;
demographics; land seizure and environmental modification;
transport and communications; and resistance and independence
movements. In so doing, he makes a major contribution to our
understanding of colonisation and the end of empire.
