註釋A substantial introduction by Catherine Hall discusses approaches to the history of empire and establishes a narrative frame through which to read the essays which follow. The volume is divided into three sections: theoretical, emphasizing concepts and approaches; the colonisers "at home", focusing on how empire was lived in Britain; and "away"--The attempt to construct new cultures through which the colonisers defined themselves and others in varied colonial sites. Two essays on 18th-century Britain and the postcolonial Caribbean highlight the postcolonial challenge to the conventional temporal boundaries of empire.
