About the book
V.G. Kiernan offers a rigorous historical analysis of European imperialism — its mechanisms, ideological justifications, impacts on colonies, and legacies to this day. With erudition and critical perspective, he examines how European powers built and maintained their empires, and how this global expansion shapes the contemporary world.
An essential study for understanding the roots of modern geopolitical power and the historical processes that created persistent global inequalities.
