Summary: Starting with the premise that Europe was made by its imperial projects as much as colonial encounters were shaped by events and conflicts in Europe, the contributors to this text investigate metropolitan-colonial relationships from a new perspective. The fifteen essays in this book demonstrate various ways in which 'civilizing missions' in both metropolis and colony provided new sites for clarifying a bourgeois order.
