History was politics in late-nineteenth-century Britain.  But the means by which influential thinkers sought to steer democracy and  state development also consigned vast populations to the margins of imperial  debate and policy. From the 1880s onward, politicians, intellectuals, and  journalists erected a school of thought based on exclusion and deferral that  segregated past and future, backwardness and civilization, validating racial  discrimination in empire all while disavowing racism. These efforts, however,  engendered powerful anticolonial backlash and cast a long shadow over the  closing decades of imperial rule. Bringing to life the forgotten struggles  which have, in effect, defined our times, \u003ci\u003eImperial  Historyand the Global Politics of Exclusion\u003c\/i\u003e is an important  reinterpretation of the intellectual history of the British Empire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2017-11-08\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137546029\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-54850-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 282\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44752372957324,"sku":"9781137546029","price":116.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137546029.jpg?v=1775849290","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781137546029","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
