Description
The concept of empire has shaped much of world history. In fact, it can be argued that all history is to some extent colonial history, if one considers a broad enough timeframe and scope. Despite the collapse of traditional imperial systems over the past half century, their legacies continue to influence global life in almost every aspect. Stephen Howe explores the meaning of empire through the ages, clarifying the various uses and abuses of terms such as 'empire', 'colonialism', and others. He examines the aftermath of imperialism on the contemporary world, providing insight into its ongoing impact. This book is part of Oxford University Press's Very Short Introductions series, which offers concise and engaging introductions to a wide range of subjects.
