Critical Perspectives on Empire
A Series by Cambridge University Press
Edited by Kathleen Wilson, Catherine Hall and Mrinalini Sinha

The Cambridge University Press and the Editors are pleased to announce a
new book series: Critical Perspectives on Empire. While acknowledging
the explosion in the scholarship on empire in the last decade, the aim
of this series is to look forward to future developments in the field.
We aim to publish works that are innovative in approach and ambitious in
scope, and that will contribute to the re-thinking of established
categories of analysis and debate. Books currently under contract or
consideration include: the global connections and cultural circuits of
Renaissance encounters; the emergence of ‘whiteness’ as a transnational
identity in the early 20th century; the culture of European
intelligence-gathering in nineteenth century China and Southeast Asia;
transnational anti-colonial mobilizations between the World Wars; and
gender, governmentality and the colonial state in the long 18th century.

We invite consideration of book proposals on the history and legacies of
early modern and modern empires, both land-based and transoceanic, from
the Indian Ocean and Ottoman worlds to the Atlantic and Pacific; their
cultural impacts, global contexts, and cross-imperial and comparative
effects. We are particularly interested in interdisciplinary modes of
historical and critical practice that will push at the boundaries of the
current scholarship, offering new directions and new approaches to the
study of empires.
