An important revisionist history that casts eighteenth-century British politics and imperial expansion in a new light. In this bold debut work, historian James M. Vaughn challenges the scholarly consensus that British India and the Second Empire were founded “in a fit of absence of mind.” He instead argues that the origins of the Raj and the largest empire of the modern world were rooted in political conflicts and movements in Britain. It was British conservatives who shaped the Second Empire into one of conquest and dominion, emphasizing the extraction of resources and the subjugation of colonial populations. Drawing on a wide array of sources, Vaughn shows how the East India Company was transformed from a corporation into an imperial power in the service of British political forces opposed to the rising radicalism of the period. The Company’s dominion in Bengal, where it raised territorial revenue and maintained a large army, was an autocratic bulwark of Britain’s established order. A major work of political and imperial history, this volume offers an important new understanding of the era and its global ramifications.

A heartbreakingly beautiful and brutal collection of interconnected stories which explores the lives of five generations of a family fragmented by the Pacific side of World War II. Spanning over 150 years, and set in multiple locations in colonial and post-colonial Asia and the United States, Inheritors paints a kaleidoscopic portrait of its characters as they grapple with legacies of loss and displacement, identity and erasure, imperialism and war. In "Train to Harbin," winner of an O. Henry Award and praised by Molly Antopol as "epic in its exploration of history, war, loyalty, and trauma," a retired doctor is forced to confront the moral consequences of the experiments he pioneered in his youth. In "Willow Run," ambitiously told in the form of a one-sided interview, an elderly Japanese woman volunteers her testimony regarding a fifty-year-old crime, only to be dismissed by the interviewer as a lesser victim than the enslaved "comfort women" finally receiving international attention. The prodigal son of "The Last Bulwark of the Imperial Empire" survives the onslaught of American forces overtaking his Pacific outpost only to be asked for a sacrifice more dehumanizing than any he could have imagined. These stories are designed to speak to one another, contesting assumptions and calling attention to the complicated ways in which we experience, interpret, and pass on our personal and shared histories. Serizawa's characters walk the line between the devastating realities of war and the banal needs of everyday life as they struggle to reconcile their place in the world, making Inheritors a breathtaking meditation on suppressed histories and the relationship between history, memory, and storytelling.

r seas have been charted and that piracy has been brought to an end, and the perils of the sailor reduced to the natural perils of wind and wave. This also is a contribution to the freedom of the seas. British institutions, the institutions of self-government, and the British Navy, which has at all times been a bulwark of liberty, and has never interfered in times of peace with the use of the seas by any nation--these have been the main explanations of the fabulous growth of the British Empire. We cannot here attempt to trace the story of this growth, but must be content to survey the completed structure and consider on what principles it is governed.

While the study of “indigenous intermediaries” is today the focus of some of the most interesting research in the historiography of colonialism, its roots extend back to at least the 1970s. The contributions to this volume revisit Ronald E. Robinson’s theory of collaboration in a range of historical contexts by melding it with theoretical perspectives derived from postcolonial studies and transnational history. In case studies ranging globally over the course of four centuries, these essays offer nuanced explorations of the varied, complex interactions between imperial and local actors, with particular attention to those shifting and ambivalent roles that transcend simple binaries of colonizer and colonized.

The “bulwark” or antemurale myth—whereby a region is imagined as a defensive barrier against a dangerous Other—has been a persistent strand in the development of Eastern European nationalisms. While historical studies of the topic have typically focused on clashes and overlaps between sociocultural and religious formations, Rampart Nations delves deeper to uncover the mutual transfers and multi-sided national and interconfessional conflicts that helped to spread bulwark myths through Europe’s eastern periphery over several centuries. Ranging from art history to theology to political science, this volume offers new ways of understanding the political, social, and religious forces that continue to shape identity in Eastern Europe.

From the Baltic to the Black Sea, four major empires with ethnically and religiously diverse populations encountered each other along often changing and contested borders. Examining this geographically vast, multicultural region through a variety of methodological lenses, this volume offers informed and dispassionate analyses of how the many populations of these borderlands managed to coexist in a previous era and why the areas eventually descended into violence. An understanding of this region will help readers grasp the preconditions of interethnic coexistence and the causes of ethnic violence and war in many of the world's other borderlands both past and present.
