Título: Colonialism and Modernity
Autor: Paul Gillen
Sinopse: For five centuries, colonialism and modernity have profoundly shaped the cultures of the world. Colonialism & Modernity traces these interacting long-term historical processes, and the parallel history of anti-colonial movements and ideas. It outlines Europe’s rise to global dominance since the 16th century, and the attendant modernity that shaped and defi ned this rise. Paul Gillen and Devleena Ghosh show how colonialism and modernity dramatically changed the lives of the colonised peoples, the invading settlers who established overseas colonies and those who remained in Europe. The book investigates the diasporas created by invasions, slavery, indentured labour and voluntary migration. Written in an engaging and accessible style and with impressive breadth, Colonialism & Modernity reviews and integrates the rapidly expanding fields of world history and postcolonial studies.
