Recenzii
'Empire on Edge is a fresh look at nineteenth-century Belize, vividly portraying threats and opportunities connected with Yucatán's Caste War that sparked conflicts but also alliances across lines of empire, nation, race, and economic network. A welcome addition to scholarship on borderlands, migration, political belonging, and the contingency of imperial control.' Anne S. Macpherson, State University of New York
'Surrounded by Central American neighbors almost constantly embroiled in civil wars, with borders disputed, Caste War rebels on its frontiers and thousands of Yucatecan Caste War refugees fundamentally altering its population structure, Belize faced serious challenges during the nineteenth century. In their attempts to ensure the territory's security against outside threats and inside dissent, the local colonial officials found little help in the imperial government in London, who were reluctant to send troops and spend significant amounts of money for the defense of a colonial backwater. Dutt's Empire on Edge skillfully highlights the intricacies of colonial rule on the edge of empire and enriches the historiography of a hitherto understudied country.' Wolfgang Gabbert, author of Violence and the Caste War of Yucatán
'Empire on Edge is a remarkable book, well written and engaging, that might be of interest to specialists in this understudied country and to those interested in the history of colonial governance, borderland conflicts, refugees' culture, and diplomatic relations.' David Pretel, Hispanic American Historical Review
