The Control Of The Tropics (1898)

Focusing on imperialism, Benjamin Kidd's 1898 work delves into the European control of tropical regions, arguing that colonization aimed not only at economic benefits but also at spreading civilization and Christianity. He examines the effects of imperialism on indigenous populations and the potential for conflicts among colonizers, providing a historical analysis of regions like Africa and Asia. Kidd's insightful perspective on the motivations behind imperialism makes this book a significant resource for scholars studying colonialism and its impacts.
