Reviews
The book is both innovative and suggestive. The book's theme is of great historical interest and importance, and this book will certainly be well received and used, both by historians of empire and by political and social scientists. * Sir John Elliott, Regius Professor Emeritus of Modern History, University of Oxford, UK * This intriguing collection moves beyond the binary of colonizer/colonized to examine political actors who found niches in the system which they could pry wider to give themselves or their constituents some voice in an oppressive political system. * Frederick Cooper, author of Citizenship, Inequality, and Difference: Historical Perspectives *
In Unexpected Voices in Imperial Parliaments, editors Josep M. Fradera, Jose Maria Portillo and Teresa Segura-Garcia bring together contributors to examine the careers of nine colonial subjects who became legislators in imperial parliamentary institutions from the time of the French Revolution to the Second World War. In exploring the norm-shattering voices of these figures as well as the challenges they faced, this book offers an urgent reflection on the promises and limitations of liberalism in our contemporary moment. * LSE Review of Books * The book is both innovative and suggestive.
