Bernard Porter's landmark work traces the critical response to the British imperial project in the years leading up to World War I. Imperial adventures, including the intervention in Egypt and the Anglo-Boer War, together with the jingoistic clamour that surrounded them, attracted powerful hostility as well as support. "Criticism of Empire" is the subject of Porter's stimulating book. Long regarded as the classic account, the author has now added a substantial new Introduction. He demonstrates the power and influence of major critics such as J.A. Hobson - the acknowledged creator of the 'capitalist theory' of imperialism - E.D. Morel and Mary Kingsley and of organisations like the Congo Reform Association. With themes which are also highly relevant to the present day discourse on the American 'empire', this book will prove essential reading for all students of imperial and international history."--Bloomsbury Publishing.Anti-imperialist movementsGreat BritainHistoryImperialismPublic opinionHistoryRadicalsGreat BritainAttitudesHistoryGeneral & world historyBICGreat BritainColoniesHistoryAnti-imperialist movementsHistory.ImperialismPublic opinionHistory.RadicalsAttitudesHistory.General & world history.325.34109Porter Bernard134198UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910782294303321Critics of empire3817590UNINA
