{"product_id":"empire-between-the-lines-elizabeth-stice-9781496234070","title":"Empire Between the Lines: Imperial Culture in British and French Trench Newspapers of the Great War","description":"Although the Great War was sparked and fueled by nationalism, it was ultimately a struggle between empires. The shots fired in Sarajevo mobilized citizens and subjects across far-flung continents that were connected by European empires. This imperial experience of the Great War influenced European soldiers' ideas about the conflict, leading them to reimagine empires and their places with them and eventually reshaping imperial cultures. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eEmpire between the Lines\u003c\/i\u003e Elizabeth Stice analyzes stories, poetry, plays, and cartoons in British and French trench newspapers to demonstrate how British and French soldiers experienced and envisioned empires through the war and the war through empire. By establishing the imperial context for European soldiers and exploring representations of colonial troops, depictions of non-European campaigns, and descriptions of the German enemy, Stice argues that while certain narratives from prewar imperial culture persisted, the experience of the war also created new, competing narratives about empire and colonized peoples. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eEmpire between the Lines\u003c\/i\u003e is the first study of its kind to consult British and French newspapers together, offering an innovative lens for viewing the public discourse of the trenches. By interrogating the relationship between British and French soldiers and empire during the war, Stice increases our understanding of the worldview of ordinary men in extraordinary times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Stice\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1496234073\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496234070\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2024","brand":"Elizabeth Stice","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44069452382463,"sku":"9781496234070","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3e6f16dc-ed66-403f-98e4-a275f714b332.jpg?v=1685424790","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/empire-between-the-lines-elizabeth-stice-9781496234070","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
