Locating Europe: Empire and Nationalism in the Long Nineteenth Century (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692818497)

During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Europeans spread out across the globe. They colonized territories in Africa, Asia and the Americas and created homelands thousands of miles away from the European continent. Locating Europe looks at the influence of European settler communities on the currents of nationalism and identity in an age of empire. Moving through Barbados, Algiers, Cairo and Tashkent, this succinct essay offers a sweeping panorama that explores the meaning of "Europe" for those on the continent as well as those who traveled and lived abroad. Drawing upon recent scholarship in colonial and nationality studies, Locating Europe illuminates the possibilities of a global European history and speculates on the impact that migration and globalization continue to have on Europe to this day.
