Constructive Imperialism

More about the book

L. S. Amery's 'Constructive Imperialism' is a thought-provoking and challenging exploration of British imperialism at the height of the Empire. Amery argues that imperialism is not simply a matter of conquest and domination, but can be a force for good in the world. He proposes a vision of 'constructive' imperialism that seeks to improve the lives of the colonized peoples and foster development and progress in the colonies. This book remains relevant today, as it grapples with many of the same issues and challenges that continue to shape our world.
