| Summary |
"Violent, powerful, vast the British Empire affected everyone who lived within its sphere Colonialism's impact could be felt in every aspect of life food, language, work and education." "The empire is typically viewed as distant and tropical; by contrast, this book examines the effects of the empire on men, women and children across the globe both those under imperial rule and those who implemented it Looking beyond politics and diplomacy, Philippa Levine combines a traditional approach to colonial history with an investigation of the experience of living within the empire."--BOOK JACKET |
