"For many years David Fieldhouse has been widely acclaimed as the leading economic historian of the modern British empire, and until his retirement in 1992 was Vere Harmsworth Professor in the University of Cambridge. The thirteen contributors to this collection of essays in his honour comprise an impressive array of students, colleagues, and friends. Their diverse subjects range widely across the economic and administrative fields of British Imperial history in the past two centuries, globally embracing Africa and Asia, the Caribbean and the Pacific."--BOOK JACKET.
