Bayly *Combines a comparative perspective with the juxtaposition of political economy, cultural history, gendered and postcolonial approaches *By proposing and debating alternative explanatory models, the book breathes new life into the flagging concept of ‘informal empire’ *Illuminates the study of British imperialism, from which Latin America is usually conspicuous only by its absence, and provides a broad and sound basis for interpreting the complex processes of nation-building and state-formation in Latin America *Includes essays by scholars who have been shaping the debate for several decades, alongside work by a younger generation of researchers keen to re-conceptualise and re-assess the roles of commerce and culture in shaping informal empire\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45203112296599,"sku":"9781405179324","price":2269.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781405179324.webp?v=1767307868","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/informal-empire-in-latin-america-culture-commerce-and-capital-9781405179324","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
