Africa, empire and world disorder : selected essays

This volume brings together important articles from the Cambridge historian A.

G. Hopkins and reflect the enlargement and evolution of historical studies during the last half century.

The essays cover four of the principal historiographical developments of the period: the extraordinary revolution that has led to the writing of non-Western indigenous history; the revitalization of new types of imperial history; the now ubiquitous engagement with global history, including a reinterpretation of American Empire, and the current revival of economic history after several decades of neglect.
