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, \u003ci\u003eImperial Historyand the Global Politics of Exclusion\u003c\/i\u003e is an important reinterpretation of the intellectual history of the British Empire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amanda Behm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1137546026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781137546029\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/08\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.69d","brand":"Amanda Behm","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48087675502847,"sku":"9781137546029","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_08ae402d-984b-4482-813d-118f48bfd9e0.jpg?v=1769100779","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/imperial-history-and-the-global-amanda-behm-9781137546029","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
