For many Britons, it epitomized their nations cultural superiority. But what legacy did the island nation deliver to the world? Covering more than two hundred years of history, Caroline Elkins reveals an evolutionary and racialized doctrine that espoused an unrelenting deployment of violence to secure and preserve the nations imperial interests. She outlines how ideological foundations of violence were rooted in the Victorian era calls for punishing recalcitrant "natives," and how over time, its forms became increasingly systematized. And she makes clear that when Britain could no longer maintain control over the violence it provoked and enacted, it retreated from empire, destroying and hiding incriminating evidence of its policies and practices.Drawing on more than a decade of research on four continents, Legacy of Violence implicates all sides of Britains political divide in the creation, execution, and cover-up of imperial violence. By demonstrating how and why violence was the most salient factor underwriting Britains empire and the nations imperial identity at home, Elkins upends long-held myths and sheds new light on empires role in shaping the world today....89825Legacy of Violence677677https://www.gandhi.com.mx/legacy-of-violence-3/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/1776832/fe01b25a-3e8f-43db-89b6-935c64a5a4e6.jpg?v=638338922970870000InStockMXN99999DIAudiolibro20229780593454206_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9780593454206_From Pulitzer Prizewinning historian: a searing study of the British Empire that probes the countrys pervasive use of violence throughout the twentieth century and traces how these practices were exported, modified, and institutionalized in colonies around the globeSprawling across a quarter of the worlds land mass and claiming nearly seven hundred million people, Britains twentieth-century empire was the largest empire in human history.
