This volume brings together classic and contemporary scholarly essays on imperialism in the 19th and 20th centuries. The text opens with an introductory essay followed by a presentation of authoritative but conflicting views, encouraging students to interpret and evaluate the issue for themselves.
Good selected source start for those interested in imperialism. Identifies the broad historiography of the subject and potential questions/holes in the field as well as its development. Sources are short and context is set in introduction. Would be useful as a reader for an undergrad class.
