The volume's contributors convey the global reach of decolonization, with chapters analysing the empires of Western Europe, Eastern Europe, China and Japan. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eHandbook\u003c\/em\u003e combines broad, regional treatments of decolonization with chapter contributions constructed around particular themes or social issues. It considers how the history of decolonization is being rethought as a result of the rise of the 'new' imperial history, and its emphasis on race, gender, and culture, as well as the more recent growth of interest in histories of globalization, transnational history, and histories of migration and diaspora, humanitarianism and development, and human rights. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eHandbook\u003c\/em\u003e, in other words, seeks to identify the processes and commonalities of experience that make decolonization a unique historical phenomenon with a lasting resonance. In light of decades of historical and social scientific scholarship on modernization, dependency, neo-colonialism, 'failed state' architectures and post-colonial conflict, the obvious question that begs itself is 'when did empires actually end?' In seeking to unravel this most basic dilemma the \u003cem\u003eHandbook\u003c\/em\u003e explores the relationship between the study of decolonization and the study of globalization. It connects histories of the late-colonial and post-colonial worlds, and considers the legacies of empire in European and formerly colonised societies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Thomas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/06\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 760\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 7.10w x 2.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198713197\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMartin Thomas, \u003cem\u003eProfessor of History, University of Exeter\u003c\/em\u003e, Andrew Thompson, \u003cem\u003eProfessor of History, University of Exeter\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMartin Thomas is Professor of Imperial History and Director of the Centre for the Study of War, State, and Society at the University of Exeter.
