Enlightened Colonialism: Civilization Narratives and Imperial Politics in the Age of Reason By Dr. Damien TricoireEnglish | PDF | 2017 | 319 Pages | ISBN : 3319542796 | 15.69 MB
This book further qualifies the postcolonial thesis and shows its limits. To reach these goals, it links text analysis and political history on a global comparative scale. Focusing on imperial agents, their narratives of progress, and their political aims and strategies, it asks whether Enlightenment gave birth to a new colonialism between 1760 and 1820.
