| Description: |
This set covers: debates on the origins and significance of colonial empires; discussions of imperialism as it grew out of the pre-1914 radical and Marxist critiques; and, the emergence of Postcolonialism. The set is fully indexed. |
| Synopsis: |
The philosopher W.B. Gallie argued many years ago that there could be no simple definition of words such as 'freedom' because they embodied what he called 'essentially contested concepts'. They were words whose meaning had to be fought over and whose compteting definitions arose out of political struggle and conflict. Imperialism, and its close ally, colonialism, are two such contested concepts. This set will give readers an insight in to the main lines of debate about the meanings of imperialism and colonialism over the last two centuries. |
