VIOLENCE COLONIALISM AND EMPIRE IN THE MODERN W...

This book explores the theme of violence  repression and atrocity in imperial and colonial
empires  as well as its representations and memories  from the late eighteenth through to the
twentieth century. It examines the wide variety of violent means by which colonies and empire
were maintained in the modern era  the politics of repression and the violent structures
inherent in empire. Bringing together scholars from around the world  the book includes
chapters on British  French  Dutch  Italian and Japanese colonies and conquests. It considers
multiple experiences of colonial violence  ranging from political dispute to the non-lethal
violence of everyday colonialism and the symbolic repression inherent in colonial practices and
hierarchies. These comparative case studies show how violence was used to assert and maintain
control in the colonies  contesting the long held view that the colonial project was of benefit
to colonised peoples.
