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. 606 $aDecolonization$zAfrica$xHistoriography 606 $aImperialism$xHistoriography 606 $aDecolonization$xHistoriography 607 $aAfrica$xColonization$xHistoriography 610 $a20th century. 610 $aafrica. 610 $acivic. 610 $acolonial contexts. 610 $acolonial studies. 610 $acolonial theory. 610 $acolonialism. 610 $acolonization. 610 $adiaspora. 610 $aessay collection. 610 $aeurope. 610 $aglobalization. 610 $ahistorians. 610 $ahistorical perspective. 610 $ahistory of colonialism. 610 $ahuman condition. 610 $ahumanities. 610 $aimperialism. 610 $amodernity. 610 $anational identity. 610 $anationalism. 610 $anonfiction essays. 610 $apostcolonial. 610 $aretrospective. 610 $asocial sciences. 610 $asouth asia. 610 $atextbooks. 610 $atheoretical. 610 $awestern scholars. 610 $aworld history. 610 $aworld powers. 615 0$aDecolonization$xHistoriography. 615 0$aImperialism$xHistoriography. 615 0$aDecolonization$xHistoriography. 676 $a325.6 700 $aCooper$b Frederick$f1947-$0144285 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783313703321 996 $aColonialism in question$91092053 997 $aUNINA
