Sinopsis

Colonialism: A Global Legacy explores how the historical expansion of empires continues to influence modern societies, economies, and political systems. It argues that many contemporary global issues have roots in colonial policies and practices. Understanding these legacies is crucial for informed policymaking and equitable international relations. For example, demographic shifts caused by colonial-era forced migration still impact national identities and social structures today. The book also analyzes how the systematic extraction of resources during colonialism laid the groundwork for present-day economic disparities.

 
This book traces the evolution of colonialism, from mercantilism to high imperialism, examining ideologies like racial superiority that justified colonial rule. It delves into independence movements and resistance to colonial power. The narrative progresses systematically across chapters, beginning with core concepts and a colonial history overview. It then examines specific regions and thematic issues like demographic changes, economic exploitation, and resistance movements.

 
The book's strength lies in its comparative approach, drawing from history, political science, and economics to provide a nuanced, evidence-based account of colonialism’s enduring impact.

    One of the most enigmatic figures of antiquity, Tiberius lacked the imperial splendour of his great predecessor Augustus and the excesses of many of his successors, and has been overlooked by history. Yet this compelling study offers a portrait of a complex and contradictory man, both emperor and exile, tyrant and recluse. 
    Drawing on a wealth of ancient sources as well as contemporary classical scholarship, Iskander Rehman engages in a nuanced and multidisciplinary examination of Tiberius’ philosophical, intellectual and military influences, and the effectiveness of his foreign policy. Analysing key conflicts, Rehman evaluates the reach and efficacy of Rome’s grand strategy, applying the lessons of the past to contemporary security challenges and modern global defence policy. 
    The book has a preface written by Sir Peter Stothard, British author, journalist and critic.

    Are taxi drivers in today's era of the ride-hail app performing care work akin to domestic and household labor? Julietta Hua and Kasturi Ray examine the case study of contemporary professional passenger driving in the United States. On the one hand, they show, the rise of the gig economy has brought new attention to the industry of professional passenger driving. On the other hand, the vulnerabilities that professional drivers experience remain hidden. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on interviews with drivers, labor organizers, and members of licensing commissions, as well as case law and other published resources, Hua and Ray argue that working for ride-hail companies like Uber and Lyft shares similarities with driving for taxi companies in the impact on driver lives. Reproductive labor—conventionally understood as feminized labor—is extracted, but masked, behind the masculinized, racialized bodies of drivers. Professional driving is thus best understood alongside domestic and other gendered service work as reproductive labors devalued and often demonetized to benefit the national economy. 
     
     
     
    Spent behind the Wheel is a must for listeners interested in critical studies of technological change and the gig economy, showing how drivers' capacities are drained for the benefit of riders, corporations, and the maintenance of the racial state.
