The Great War and the British Empire: Culture and society de Michael Walsh

The Great War and the British Empire: Culture and society: Routledge Studies in First World War History

Editat de Michael Walsh, Andrekos Varnava
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 iun 2018
In 1914 almost one quarter of the earth's surface was British. When the empire and its allies went to war in 1914 against the Central Powers, history's first global conflict was inevitable.
It is the social and cultural reactions to that war and within those distant, often overlooked, societies which is the focus of this volume. From Singapore to Australia, Cyprus to Ireland, India to Iraq and around the rest of the British imperial world, further complexities and interlocking themes are addressed, offering new perspectives on imperial and colonial history and theory, as well as art, music, photography, propaganda, education, pacifism, gender, class, race and diplomacy at the end of the pax Britannica.

Descriere

The colonial contribution to Britain's First World War effort came from places like Rhodesia, Tonga, the Falkland Islands, Ceylon and Kuwait as much as it did the larger territories. It is the social and cultural reactions within these distant, often overlooked, societies now thrust into the mainstream of modern industrial conflict, which is the focus of this volume. From Singapore to Australia, Cyprus to Ireland, India to Jamaica, and around the rest of the British imperial world, many complexities and interlocking themes are addressed.
