{"product_id":"patrons-clients-and-empire-colin-newbury-9780199257812","title":"Patrons, Clients, and Empire: Chieftaincy and Over-Rule in Asia, Africa, and the Pacific","description":"This is a wide-ranging comparative study of relationships between the indigenous leadership of traditional states and colonizing Europeans from the seventeenth to the twentieth century. It challenges stereotypes of despotic imperial power in Asian, African, and Pacific colonies and seeks to answer the fundamental question: how were European officials able to govern so many societies over such a long period of time? Colin Newbury examines the politics of pre-colonial state structures, their subversion by merchants and administrators, and the use made of indigenous leaders, and assesses the legacy of these colonial hierarchies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Colin Newbury\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199257817\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199257812\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/10\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 348\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.46h x 6.12w x 0.94d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2004 pg. 966","brand":"Colin Newbury","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44054703833343,"sku":"9780199257812","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8c6f1a11-02f5-4dc5-a319-2263bdd48cbf.jpg?v=1685031500","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/patrons-clients-and-empire-colin-newbury-9780199257812","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
