As such, it offers scholars and students a broad comprehensive set of texts through which to understand diverse aspects of British colonial rule.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe four thematic volumes that make up this resource include key material drawn from journal articles and book chapters and include a substantial introductory essay to contextualise the collections.  Each volume includes both recent scholarship and influential older scholarship central to understanding debates that continue to animate the field.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe volumes are arranged thematically by People, Places, Principles and Policies and Priorities, and range over the entirety of the colonial period, with a focus on c. 1750 to c.1960 when British imperial power was at its height.  The set will be organised to demonstrate the very different approaches that have informed this vibrant field, allowing for as much emphasis on cultural as on political history, on non-elites as well as leaders and on collaboration with, as well as resistance to, the imposition of colonial rule.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis will be an essential addition to libraries and a major scholarly resource for those working on imperialism and colonialism, on British history and on world history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e“The resulting compilation is an interesting, eclectic mix of pieces that highlight the work of modern historians of the empire and aim to demonstrate the broad diversity of topics being researched.
