In Empires and Colonies in the Modern World: A Global Perspective, Heather Streets-Salter and Trevor R. Getz provide a thorough overview of modern empires and colonialism from the late fifteenth century to the present. Synthesizing the vast outpouring of new scholarship that examines empires in a global context, the book pays as much attention to the Ottoman, Mughal, Ming, and Qing Empires as to European colonialism, and stresses the continuous social, political, and cultural interactions between colonizers and colonized.

Amply illustrated with photographs and full-color maps, Empires and Colonies in the Modern World examines numerous issues--including commodity flows, pan-movements, and anti-colonial activism--that superseded the boundaries of colonies and empires entirely. It calls attention not only to the complexities of the internal dynamics of individual empires, but also to the constant interactions between empires, and between colonies with different national metropoles.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"In this wide-ranging, ambitious, and highly readable book, Heather Streets-Slater and Trevor Getz make the case for the interdependence of empires and the global from the Mongols through the Iraq war. They skillfully navigate basic definitions, complex processes, and scholarly arguments based on the latest research to support their argument that global empires were totalizing experiences--historically specific yet marking out a distinctive era in world history. Readers will come away not just with a deeper understanding of what the underpinnings of modern imperialism and colonialism are, but with a greater appreciation of what a global perspective on these developments means as well."--Antoinette Burton, University of Illinois


"Heather Streets-Salter and Trevor Getz have written a major overview of modern empires and colonialism that covers the last five-hundred years and that brilliantly summarizes the outpouring of new work placing empires in a global context. Paying as much attention to the Ottoman, Mughal, Ming, and Qing Empires as to European colonialism, the work stresses the continuous interaction between colonizer and colonized and is as attentive to gender and identity issues as it is to conquest, collaboration, and resistance. A must read for global historians interested in empires. The footnotes and the bibliography are treasures in themselves."--Robert Tignor, Princeton University

"At long last we have a truly comprehensive and comparative study of global empires from the early modern era until the twenty-first century. The authors are to be commended for their unfailingly lucid presentation of the entangled processes, in multiple scales and in many places, which ultimately forged the world that we inhabit today. Empires and Colonies represents both an invaluable classroom text and a rich compendium for scholars."--Julia Clancy-Smith, University of Arizona

5.0 out of 5 stars Accessible Work of Synthesis
Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2018

This book is an incredible work of synthesis written by two eminent historians. It is the type of book that I wish was assigned more often in undergraduate world history survey courses because it provides a level and analysis and nuance that is often missing in the standard textbooks. At the same time, it is written in an incredibly accessible way, which would make it approachable for undergraduate students.

This is an excellent book full of relevant information about the period of history related to world empires around the 18th century. This is much more than a factual count of the time period but rather integrates and explored subtle relAtionships of that tume
