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 to Europe, these essays, most published here for the first time, propose a fuller engagement in the give-and-take of history, not least in the ways in which concepts usually attributed to Western universalism-including citizenship and equality-were defined and reconfigured by political mobilizations in colonial contexts.DecolonizationAfricaHistoriographyImperialismHistoriographyDecolonizationHistoriographyAfricaColonizationHistoriography20th century.africa.civic.colonial contexts.colonial studies.colonial theory.colonialism.colonization.diaspora.essay collection.europe.globalization.historians.historical perspective.history of colonialism.human condition.humanities.imperialism.modernity.national identity.nationalism.nonfiction essays.postcolonial.retrospective.social sciences.south asia.textbooks.theoretical.western scholars.world history.world powers.DecolonizationHistoriography.ImperialismHistoriography.DecolonizationHistoriography.325.6Cooper Frederick1947-144285MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910783313703321Colonialism in question1092053UNINA
