Sommario/riassunto

"This book critically revises our understanding of the range of ways that New Zealand has played a role as an imperial power, including the cultural histories of New Zealand inside the British Empire, engagements with imperial practices and politics of imperialism, and the circulation of the ideas of empire both through and inside New Zealand"--Back cover.
