Part III 'Displacement': Displacement, Lindsay Proudfoot and Michael Roche; Index."Reviews'(Dis)placing Empire challenges totalizing narratives of Britain's Empire - and succeeds admirably. What is revealed is not just Empire's different 'where' and 'when' but its different 'who'. Engaging essays highlight the interconnections between local places, global networks and lived experiences. Thoroughly researched and sensitively written, this work should command the attention of all those interested in understanding what Empire meant and how it worked.' Charles W.J. Withers, University of Edinburgh, UK '...a most welcome addition to Ashgate Publishing's Heritage, Culture and Identity series...should become recommended reading for relevant undergraduate and postgraduate courses.' New Zealand Geographer Author InformationDr Lindsay Proudfoot is Reader in Geography at the School of Geography within Queen's University Belfast, UK.
