The British Empire
A History and a Debate
What was the course and consequence of the British Empire? The rights
and wrongs, strengths and weaknesses of empire are a major topic in
global history, and deservedly so. Focusing on the most prominent and
wide-ranging empire in world history, the British Empire, Jeremy Black
provides not only a history of that empire, but also a perspective from
which to consider the issues of its strengths and weaknesses, and rights
and wrongs. In short, this is a history both of the past, and of the
present-day discussion of the past, that recognises that discussion over
historical empires is in part a reflection of the consideration of
contemporary states.
In this book Professor Black weaves together an overview of the British
Empire across the centuries, with a considered commentary on both the
public historiography of empire and the politically-charged character of
much discussion of it. There is a coverage here of social as well as
political and economic dimensions of empire, and both the British
perspective and that of the colonies is considered. The chronological
dimension is set by the need to consider not only imperial expansion by
the British state, but also the history of Britain within an imperial
context. As such, this is a story of empires within the British Isles, Europe,
and, later, world-wide. The book addresses global decline, decolonisation,
and the complex nature of post-colonialism and different imperial
activity in modern and contemporary history. Taking a revisionist
approach, there is no automatic assumption that imperialism, empire,
and colonialism were bad things. Instead, there is a dispassionate and
evidence-based evaluation of the British Empire as a form of
government, an economic system, and a method of engagement with
the world, one with both faults and benefits for the metropole and
the colony.
