Moving away from European notions of property, appropriation encompasses the many ways in which social actors consider a space as their own. This space may be physical or immaterial, public or intimate, lived or imagined. \u003cp\u003eIn modern empires, spatial appropriations amounted neither to a material and violent dispossession orchestrated by European or Japanese powers, nor to an ongoing and unquestioned resistance by subaltern peoples. They were rather sites of complex interactions, in which the part of each actor owed as much to â oeforeign⠝ domination as to other political, social, economic and environmental factors. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCutting across common historiographical boundaries, the chapters of this book bring to light the declination and conjugation of various forms of spatial appropriation in the modern imperial age (1820-1960), taking readers on a journey from Russia to China, from the United States to South America, and from the Mediterranean world to Africa.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Didier Guignard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1527536696\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781527536692\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge Scholars Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/20\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 361\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.90w x 1.00d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Didier Guignard","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48623147188479,"sku":"9781527536692","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/spatial-appropriations-in-modern-empires-didier-guignard-9781527536692","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
