Bodies in Contact by Antoinette Burton

Bodies in Contact by Antoinette Burton

This reader on world history emphasizes the centrality of raced, sexed, and classed bodies as sites on which imperial power was imagined and exercised, in order to examine the effects of global politics, capital and culture on everyday spaces and local cultural encounters

“Bodies in Contact is an excellent work, full of lively essays based on an engaging variety of historical perspectivesInstructors in world history rightly complain that there is little available to students that covers gender. This volume helps fill that gap with articles on important issues in the history of contact and empire.”—Bonnie G. Smith, author of The Gender of History: Men, Women, and Historical Practice
