While they wrote of conquest, imperial rule in India, the Middle East, Africa, and the Caribbean was consolidated. While they described the development of imperial governance, rebellions were brutally crushed. As they reimagined empire during the two world wars, decolonization was compromised. Priya Satia shows how these historians not only interpreted the major political events of their time but also shaped the future that followed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSatia makes clear that historical imagination played a significant role in the unfolding of empire. History emerged as a mode of ethics in the modern period, endowing historians from John Stuart Mill to Winston Churchill with outsized policymaking power. Braided with this story is an account of alternative visions articulated by anticolonial thinkers such as William Blake, Mahatma Gandhi, and E. P. Thompson. By the mid-twentieth century, their approaches had reshaped the discipline of history and the ethics that came with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTime's Monster\u003c\/em\u003e invites readers to reconsider the narratives and ethical foundations laid by those who wielded history as a powerful tool in the making and unmaking of empire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46343717159148,"sku":"9780141993928","price":27.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/14741263482238.jpg?v=1744005554"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/priya-satia.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
