In this engagingly written and carefully crafted volume, some of the best scholars in the field bring much needed clarity to the many ways in which empire became truly global in the nineteenth century, with repercussions that can be felt to his day. * Frank Dikoetter, Chair Professor of Humanities, University of Hong Kong, Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, and author of Mao's Great Famine (2011) - of Volume II * Fairey, Brunero, and Farrell have assembled a remarkably far-reaching book, whose many contributions to the debate on empires in Asian and world history are at once provocative and innovative. Weaving together the histories of Asian empires and European empires in Asia from the thirteenth to the nineteenth century, this work poses new questions and challenges established concepts, chronologies, and narratives of both modernity and empire. * Nicola Di Cosmo, LUCE Foundation Professor in East Asian Studies, Institute of Advanced Study, University of London, UK *
