Bøger af Robert (University of Oxford) Gildea

Prize-winning historian Robert Gildea shows that how empires did not vanish after 1945 but were constantly reinvented as neo-colonialisms. He shows how postwar immigration from the former colonies provoked racism, segregation and exclusion in metropolitan Britain and France and how imperial nostalgia has bedevilled Britain's relations with Europe.

Writing Contemporary History is an invaluable introduction to the central debates that have shaped the field of contemporary history.
