1 European Colonialism since 1700 This masterful synthesis provides a much-needed, complete survey of European colonialism from 1700 to decolonization in the twentieth century. Written by an award-winning author, this advanced undergraduate and graduate level textbook bridges, for the first time, the early modern Atlantic empires and the later Asian and African empires of high imperialism. Viewing colonialism as a phenomenon of contact between Europe and the rest of the world, the author takes an entangled histories approach, considering the surprising ways in which the imperial powers of Spain, Portugal, Great Britain, France and the Netherlands displayed their identities in colonial settings, as much as in their imperial capitals. The author illuminates for students the common themes of colonial government, economic development and cultural contact across empires, and reveals the ways in which these themes played out, through contrast of the differing development, structure and impact of each empire. JAMES R. LEHNING is Professor of History at the University of Utah. His previous publications include To Be a Citizen: The Political Culture of the Early French Third Republic (2001), which won the Laurence Wylie Prize in French Cultural Studies in 2003 and, as co-editor, Europeans in the World: Sources on Cultural Contact (2 volumes, 2002).
2 New Approaches To European History Series editors William Beik Emory University T. C. W. Blanning Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge Brendan Simms Peterhouse, Cambridge New Approaches to European History is an important textbook series which provides concise but authoritative surveys of major themes and problems in European history since the Renaissance. Written at a level and length accessible to advanced school students and undergraduates, each book in the series addresses topics or themes that students of European history encounter daily: the series embraces both some of the more traditional subjects of study and those cultural and social issues to which increasing numbers of school and college courses are devoted. A particular effort is made to consider the wider international implications of the subject under scrutiny. To aid the student reader, scholarly apparatus and annotation is light, but each work has full supplementary bibliographies and notes for further reading: where appropriate, chronologies, maps, diagrams, and other illustrative material are also provided. For a complete list of titles published in the series, please see: /newapproaches

10 Acknowledgments It is a cliché, but true, that one incurs many debts writing a book like this one. It inevitably draws on the work of other scholars, and I am especially grateful to those scholars. To acknowledge all of my debts in footnotes would lead to a book that is mostly footnotes, and so the notes provide acknowledgement only where I have drawn specific information, or major interpretive points. More general works that have contributed to this book, however, are listed in the further reading sections at the end of each chapter. I have also learned much about colonialism by drawing on the expertise of friends and colleagues in other fields of specialization. The discussions of the Rocky Mountain Seminar on Early American History helped me to learn about Atlantic history, and I am especially grateful to Eric Hinderaker and Chris Hodson, the organizers of the Rocky Mountain Seminar. Eric urged me in 2008 to undertake this project, and he put up with my naïve questions about early American history while I was writing it. He also organized a year-long seminar on colonialism during the 2010/11 academic year that helped me focus my thinking on a wide range of issues. That seminar, and several history department lectures, brought to Salt Lake City a number of scholars of colonialism, and discussions and conversations with Eric Jennings, Durba Ghosh, Cynthia Radding, Ann Laura Stoler, and Mark Mazower challenged my thinking and helped me refine what I wanted to say. In conversations or by reading parts of the manuscript, Eric Hinderaker, Chris Hodson, Ben Cohen, Byron Cannon, Ray Gunn, Anand Yang, Rebecca Horn, Lauren Jarvis, Peter Von Sivers, and Hugh Cagle lent their expertise, and in so doing saved me from errors. The series editors and Michael Watson at Cambridge University Press gave me the opportunity to have my say about European colonialism. They, as well as the anonymous referees on the prospectus and the manuscript, provided valuable input and made this a much better book. Dean of Humanities Robert Newman at the University of Utah allowed me to finish the manuscript by supporting my request for a sabbatical x
