CENTRAL EUROPE AND THE NON-EUROPEAN WORLD IN TH...

Central Europe and the Non-European World in the Long 19th Century explores various ways in
which inhabitants of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy perceived and depicted the outside world
during the era of European imperialism. Focusing particularly on the Czech Lands  Hungary  and
Slovakia  with other nations as comparative examples  this collection shows how Central
Europeans viewed other regions and their populations  from the Balkans and the Middle East to
Africa  China  and America. Although the societies under Habsburg rule found themselves (with
rare exceptions) outside the realm of colonialism  their inhabitants also engaged in colonial
projects and benefited from these interactions. Rather than taking one Central European
approach  the volume draws upon accounts not only by writers and travelers  but by painters 
missionaries  and other observers  reflecting the diversity that characterized both the region
itself and its views of non-Western cultures.
