Cambridge University Press Belgium and the Congo 1885 1980
Book SynopsisThis book explains how and why Belgium, a small but influential European country, was changed through its colonial activities in the Congo, from the first expeditions in 1880 to the Mobutu regime in the 1980s. It yields a better understanding of the Congo's past and present, and explains how the imperial experience influenced Belgian politics, diplomacy, economic activity and culture.Trade Review'This is an important book that provides the first scholarly study of the impact that the acquisition of the Congo had on Belgium. It is an important contribution to the history of European colonialism, but also to understanding the contemporary history of the Congo.' Martin Conway, University of Oxford'An indispensable - indeed unique - economic, social, and political history of Belgium and the Congo.' Wm. Roger Louis, University of Texas, Austin'Guy Vanthemsche's exploration of the influence of the massive colony at the very center of the African continent on the small European nation that inherited it from a king with imperial ambitions is captivating. Vanthemsche, one of Belgium's leading contemporary historians, is perfectly placed to invert the traditional studies of Belgium in the Congo with his meticulously researched, thoroughly documented, subtly probing, compelling investigation of how the Congo shaped the domestic politics, foreign relations, and economic development of Belgium. Belgium and the Congo, 1885–1980, rich in nuance, will be crucial reading alongside the studies ranging from the gruesome tales of King Leopold's Congo to the accounts of the politics of decolonization in France and Britain.' Janet Polasky, Presidential Professor of History, University of New Hampshire'Guy Vanthemsche provides an authoritative and detailed account of the history of Belgian linkages with the Congo, colonial and postcolonial. This invaluable and richly documented volume is an indispensable source for understanding both Belgian and Congolese history. Balanced and judicious, the book is also an invaluable guide to the published sources on this subject, which receive exhaustive coverage.' Crawford Young, Professor Emeritus, University of Wisconsin, Madison'Having synthesized the political and economic dimensions of imperialism in Belgium, Vanthemsche has written a well-documented and fascinating work which will be a reference point for historiographical research on Congolese-Belgian relations for decades to come.' Ulrich Tiedau, European History Quarterly'Vanthemsche has produced an important study of Belgian colonial rule, which will be a useful source for future studies on this topic. It deserves a wide readership among specialists on the Congo and on European colonialism more generally.' David N. Gibbs, The Journal of Modern HistoryTable of Contents1. The origin of the colonial phenomenon in Belgium and its main developments up until 1960; 2. The Congo and Belgium's domestic policy; 3. The Congo and Belgium's external position; 4.

Cambridge University Press Colonial Lives Across the British Empire
Book SynopsisThis volume uses a series of portraits of 'imperial lives' in order to rethink the history of the British Empire in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Leading imperial historians examine how individuals and ideas moved between, shaped and were shaped by the various sites of empire.Trade ReviewReview of the hardback: '[Colonial Lives] brings together recent work on biography and subjectivity on the one hand and the literature on space and place that has done much to shape contemporary apprehensions of empire, and it does so with fresh insight and a lot of intellectual energy as well.' Journal of Colonialism and Colonial HistoryReview of the hardback: '… this is a fine collection of scholarly essays that shed important light on the complex spatialities of the British Empire. As such it deserves a wide readership. One hopes it will inspire further scholarship to elucidate those new networks that were forged by colonised subjects and that similarly spanned imperial space and shaped subjectivities.' Journal of Historical GeographyReview of the hardback: 'Colonial Lives amply demonstrates what biography at its best can do: provide a window into larger subjects and themes, readable and compelling human sized history.' Journal of Historical BiographyReview of the hardback: 'This book offers more than simply a new spatial framework for understanding empire; it is a series of biographical sketches of life histories that explore the complexity and ambiguity of trans imperial identity through the tracing and mapping of careers across multiple sites of empire.' Journal of Southern African StudiesReview of the hardback: 'Colonial Lives across the British Empire: Imperial Careering in the Long Nineteenth Century, gives readers a solid and more complex sense of the individuals, many of them not well known, who travelled to or worked in the remoter parts of the British empire. Through these individual lives, and as a result of the editors' fine introduction, the reader better understands the idiosyncratic, varied, and complicated nature of being a colonial during that period.' Studies in English Literature 1500–1900'The volume as a whole works very well as a way of questioning the conventions of writing about the imperial past … Taken as a whole the collection offers a series of intriguing paths that begin to trace out what mightbe a new historical geography of the circuits of empire.'
