New Zealand's Empire

Both colonial and postcolonial historical approaches often sideline New Zealand as a peripheral player. This book redresses the balance, and evaluates its role as an imperial power as both a powerful imperial envoy and a significant presence in the Pacific region.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

This edited collection investigates New Zealand's history as an imperial power, and its evolving place within the British Empire. It revises and expands the history of empire within, to, and from New Zealand by exploring the country's spheres of internal imperialism, its relationship with Australia, its Pacific empire, and its outreach to Antarctica.

The book critically revises our understanding of the diverse ways that New Zealand has played a role as an imperial power. This includes the cultural histories of New Zealand inside the British Empire, engagements with imperial practices and notions of imperialism, the special significance of New Zealand in the Pacific region, and the circulation of ideas of empire both through and inside New Zealand over time.

The essays in this volume span social, cultural, political, and economic history. In testing the concept of New Zealand's empire, the contributors take new directions in both historiographical and empirical research.
