The contributions investigate the impact of the colonial experience on the subsequent trajectories of the ruled, and for their place in a dynamic and changing world. -- William Fierman, Indiana University This is an excellent study of the impact of empire on the post-colonial state and challenges the idea of a sharp break between empire and sovereignty.
