- Summary:
- This collection of essays examines Liverpool's historical role within the British Empire, exploring how the city's economic, social, cultural, and political development was shaped by its imperial connections. Spanning from the late 18th century to the 20th century, the book delves into diverse topics such as Liverpool's involvement in the British Atlantic empire, its Asian trade, interactions with South America, the city's museum collections of African artifacts, and the impact of imperial ideologies on local society. Edited by Sheryllynne Haggerty, Anthony Webster, and Nicholas J. White, the volume seeks to highlight the underappreciated imperial dimensions of Liverpool's history, appealing to academics, students, and those interested in the interplay between provincial British cities and the empire.
