'...insightful...Recommended.' Choice 'The Ashgate Research Companion to Modern Imperial Histories is a fluidly written, comprehensive, and authoritative approach to the current state of the knowledge and conceptions of empire that will be an essential tool for students and researchers alike.' Michael Charney, SOAS, University of London, UK 'Neither Eurocentric nor restricted to a single privileged historiographical approach, the essays that Levine and Marriot have brought together systematically introduce readers to the breadth - chronological, geographic, and thematic - of modern imperial studies.' Andrew Zimmerman, The George Washington University, USA '... an excellent collection of essays which historians of empire (whether senior or junior) will find both useful and stimulating. They have recruited an outstanding team of contributors ... Of particular value is the huge range of references cited, introducing nonspecialists to the latest work in the wide range of sub-fields which imperial history now supports. The book is handsomely produced and surprisingly easy to use. The chapters are briskly and lucidly written and, unlike many volumes of more than six hundred pages, it will hold the attention of even a moderately industrious reader from cover to cover.'
