Sommario/riassunto |

Roy Foster is one of Ireland's leading historians, the author of the much acclaimed two-volume biography of Yeats as well as the definitive history Modern Ireland, which has been hailed as ""dazzling"" (New York Times Book Review) and ""elegant, erudite, wise, witty"" (Irish Times). Now, this brilliant writer offers a ""short and combative"" account of Ireland's astonishing transformation over the last three decades. Has there really been an ""economic miracle""? Where does the explosion of cultural energy in music, literature, and theater come from? Has the power of the Catholic Church really |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
In this closely integrated collection of essays on colonialism in world history, Frederick Cooper raises crucial questions about concepts relevant to a wide range of issues in the social sciences and humanities, including identity, globalization, and modernity. Rather than portray the past two centuries as the inevitable movement from empire to nation-state, Cooper places nationalism within a much wider range of imperial and diasporic imaginations, of rulers and ruled alike, well into the twentieth century. He addresses both the insights and the blind spots of colonial studies in an effort to get beyond the tendency in the field to focus on a generic colonialism located sometime between 1492 and the 1960's and somewhere in the "West." Broad-ranging, cogently argued, and with a historical focus that moves from Africa to South Asia |
