History was politics in late-nineteenth-century Britain. But the means by which influential thinkers sought to steer democracy and state development also consigned vast populations to the margins of imperial debate and policy. From the 1880s onward, politicians, intellectuals, and journalists erected a school of thought based on exclusion and deferral that segregated past and future, backwardness and civilization, validating racial discrimination in empire all while disavowing racism. These efforts, however, engendered powerful anticolonial backlash and cast a long shadow over the closing decades of imperial rule. Bringing to life the forgotten struggles which have, in effect, defined our times, Imperial History and the Global Politics of Exclusion is an important reinterpretation of the intellectual history of the British Empire. 410 0$aCambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies,$x2635-1633 606 $aImperialism 606 $aWorld history 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aImperialism and Colonialism$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/722000 606 $aWorld History, Global and Transnational History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/719000 606 $aPolitical History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911080 607 $aGreat Britain$xColonies$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xColonies$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xColonies$xRace relations 607 $aGreat Britain$xIntellectual life 608 $aHistory.$2fast 615 0$aImperialism. 615 0$aWorld history. 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 14$aImperialism and Colonialism. 615 24$aWorld History, Global and Transnational History. 615 24$aPolitical History. 676 $a325.3 700 $aBehm$b Amanda$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01058721 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299789703321 996 $aImperial History and the Global Politics of Exclusion$92502051 997 $aUNINA
