New this month

Empire Religiously
£85.00

This book explores Roman Catholic female missionaries and their placement in colonial and postcolonial India. It offers fascinating insights into their idiomatic activism, juxtaposed with a contrarian Protestant raj and with their own church patriarchies.
Inner Empire
£90.00
This book presents for the first time a coherent analysis of the British Isles as an imperial setting understood through its buildings, spaces, and infrastructure. It considers ‘internal’ colonisation and its infrastructures of order and suppression, alongside wider relationships between architecture, imperialism, and cultural identity.

Other upcoming publications

Settlers at the end of Empire
£20.00
New in paperback
British culture after Empire
£25.00
