A Turn to Empire: The Rise of Imperial Liberalism in Britain and France
Jennifer Pitts
By the mid-nineteenth century, the most prominent British and French liberal thinkers vigorously supported the conquest of non-European people. This work explains that this reflected a rise in civilizational self-confidence, as theories of human progress became more triumphalist, less nuanced, and less tolerant of cultural difference.
