Resistance at the Edge of Empires
Author: Cameron A. Petrie
Publisher: Oxbow Books
ISBN: 1785703064
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 536
Book Description
From 1985 to 2001, the collaborative research initiative known as the Bannu Archaeological Project conducted archaeological explorations and excavations in the Bannu region, in what was then the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) of Pakistan, now Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa. This Project involves scholars from the Pakistan Heritage Society, the British Museum, the Institute of Archaeology (UCL), Bryn Mawr College and the University of Cambridge. This is the third in a series of volumes that present the final reports of the exploration and excavations carried out by the Bannu Archaeological Project. This volume presents the first synthesis of the archaeology of the historic periods in the Bannu region, spanning the period when the first large scale empires expanded to the borders of South Asia up until the arrival of Islam in the subcontinent at the end of the first and beginning of the second millennium BC. The Bannu region provides specific insight into early imperialism in South Asia, as throughout this protracted period, it was able to maintain a distinctive regional identity in the face of recurring phases of imperial expansion and integration.

Edge of Empire
Author: Maya Jasanoff
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307425711
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 418
Book Description
In this imaginative book, Maya Jasanoff uncovers the extraordinary stories of collectors who lived on the frontiers of the British Empire in India and Egypt, tracing their exploits to tell an intimate history of imperialism. Jasanoff delves beneath the grand narratives of power, exploitation, and resistance to look at the British Empire through the eyes of the people caught up in it. Written and researched on four continents, Edge of Empire enters a world where people lived, loved, mingled, and identified with one another in ways richer and more complex than previous accounts have led us to believe were possible. And as this book demonstrates, traces of that world remain tangible—and topical—today. An innovative, persuasive, and provocative work of history.

On the Edge of Empire?
Author: Chantal Esquivias
Publisher: British Archaeological Reports Oxford Limited
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
The primary objective of this research, conducted in the area of Chacalapan, southern Veracruz, Mexico, was to address the social and political development of the region during the Classic and Postclassic periods (AD 300-1520). One of the main goals was to study the relations between Chacalapan and the Mexica Empire during Late Postclassic times (AD 1400-1520), and to define the extent of imperial control in these borderlands. Although Early Colonial period documents attest to native population of the area at the time of Spanish contact ca. 1522, no appreciable Postclassic occupation was discovered archaeologically. There is, however, ample archaeological evidence for extensive occupation during the earlier Classic period, which implies a regional population decrease during the Postclassic. As a result, this study is a hybrid of ethnohistorical research relevant to the Postclassic period and archaeological research pertaining to the Classic period.

Death at the Edges of Empire
Author: Shannon Bontrager
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 1496219090
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 431
Book Description
Hundreds of thousands of individuals perished in the epic conflict of the American Civil War. As battles raged and the specter of death and dying hung over the divided nation, the living worked not only to bury their dead but also to commemorate them. President Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address perhaps best voiced the public yearning to memorialize the war dead. His address marked the beginning of a new tradition of commemorating American soldiers and also signaled a transformation in the relationship between the government and the citizenry through an embedded promise and obligation for the living to remember the dead. In Death at the Edges of Empire Shannon Bontrager examines the culture of death, burial, and commemoration of American war dead. By focusing on the Civil War, the Spanish-Cuban-American War, the Philippine-American War, and World War I, Bontrager produces a history of collective memories of war expressed through American cultural traditions emerging within broader transatlantic and transpacific networks. Examining the pragmatic collaborations between middle-class Americans and government officials negotiating the contradictory terrain of empire and nation, Death at the Edges of Empire shows how Americans imposed modern order on the inevitability of death as well as how they used the war dead to reimagine political identities and opportunities into imperial ambitions.
