{"product_id":"communal-violence-in-the-british-mark-doyle-9781474268257","title":"Communal Violence in the British Empire","description":"\u003ci\u003eCommunal Violence in the British Empire\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on how Britons interpreted, policed, and sometimes fostered violence between different ethnic and religious communities in the empire. It also asks what these outbreaks meant for the power and prestige of Britain among subject populations. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlternating between chapters of engaging narrative and chapters of careful, cross-colonial analysis, Mark Doyle uses outbreaks of communal violence in Ireland, the West Indies, and South Asia to uncover the inner workings of British imperialism: it's guiding assumptions, its mechanisms of control, its impact, and its limitations. He explains how Britons used communal violence to justify the imperial project even as that project was creating the conditions for more violence. Above all, this book demonstrates how communal violence exposed the limits of British power and, in time, helped lay the groundwork for the empire's collapse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book shows how violence, and the British state's handling thereof, was a fundamental part of the imperial experience for colonizer and colonized alike. It offers a new perspective on the workings of empire that will be of interest to any student of imperial or world history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Doyle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474268250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474268257\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/11\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d","brand":"Mark Doyle","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44058880999679,"sku":"9781474268257","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2f7af82e-ef8e-4cb0-bff2-6a6e0935c8e0.jpg?v=1685055022","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/communal-violence-in-the-british-mark-doyle-9781474268257","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
