Critics of Empire by Bernard Porter
The notion of 'empire' has been at the forefront of world politics for over a century. This work traces the critical response to the British imperial project in the years leading up to WWI. It demonstrates the power and influence of major critics such as J A Hobson, E D Morel and Mary Kingsley, and organisations like the Congo Reform Association.
"'A striking first book by a Cambridge don with a gift of exposition and clearly endless diligenceIt is a very good book indeed.' Times Literary Supplement 'A valuable contribution to the whole story of Empire.' The Sunday Times"
