Description
Book SynopsisEmpire's Twin broadens our conception of anti-imperialist actors, ideas, and actions; it charts this story across the range of American history, from the Revolution to our own era; and it opens up the transnational and global dimensions of American anti-imperialism.
Trade ReviewThis rich and provocativeargument invites wide-ranging conversationabout variations and disjunctions in thehistory of anti-imperialism.... The result is anengaging collection that advances our understanding in part through its productively untidy scope.
-- Mary A. Renda * Journal of American History *
Empire's Twin is an admirable collection of research with insightful conclusions that manages to cover succinctly a great deal of information. It is a noteworthy and necessary start to a trend in historiography that will hopefully begin to place American anti-imperialism alongside American imperialism in importance.
