Colonialism: A Global History
Autor Lorenzo Veracinien Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 sep 2022
The volume focuses on colonialism’s dynamism, adaptability, and resilience. It appraises a number of successive global colonial ‘waves’, each constituting a specific form of colonial domination, each different from the previous ones, each affecting different locales at different times, and each characterised by a particular method of exploiting colonised populations and territories. Outlining a succession of distinct colonising conjunctures, and the ways in which they ‘washed over’ what is today understood as the ‘Global South’, shaping and reshaping institutions and prompting diverse responses from colonised communities, Colonialism: A Global History also outlines the contemporary relevance of this unequal relation. Overall, it provides an original definition of colonialism and tells the global history of this mode of domination’s evolution and reach.
The broad chronological and geographical scope makes this volume the ideal resource for all students and scholars interested in globalisation, colonialism, and empire.

Recenzii
"Exploring different global waves of colonialism, this new edition of Colonialism : A Global History highlights not just the adaptability of colonialism and the dynamics of decolonisation but also its long-lasting impacts on Global South countries. A key text for studying colonialism through a comparative lens."
Professor Henrice Altink, Department of History, University of York
"Updated to embrace ongoing ‘history wars’ and the remarkable geopolitical occurrences of recent years, this is a sweeping, hard hitting survey of colonialism across the ages, offering penetrative analysis and pronounced opinion. It dissects the nature of colonialism and imperialism, supporting sharp analysis with examples drawn from different parts of the world in different ages. Veracini demonstrates that whatever the context, the nature of colonialism changes little, even if its character shape shifts. It is a deeply scholarly and rigorously intellectual work."
Professor Ashley Jackson, King's College London and University of Oxford
"Colonialism: A Global History delivers a powerful and timely examination of colonialism at a moment when old imperial ambitions are resurging, new ones are taking shape, and colonial history itself—its violence and consequences—is fiercely debated. In this compelling and accessible study, Veracini charts colonialism’s evolution across continents and centuries, cutting through its many forms to reveal the global structures and connections that sustain it. He examines its enduring legacies while illuminating both postcolonial and anticolonial struggles. This updated edition is more attentive to Indigenous experiences of colonialism and to the history of intellectual engagement with its ideology. Essential reading for students and scholars alike, this book reshapes how we understand colonialism—past and present."
