The Second British Empire: In the Crucible of the Twentieth Century (Critical Issues in World and International History)

Description

Parsons uses vivid detail to show how Africans, Asians, Arabs, and West Indians brought about the demise of the seemingly invincible British Empire by refusing to be treated as inferior imperial subjects. He traces the empire's legacies-- the new cultures and norms that arose from its global networks of commerce, migration, and cultural exchange.
