There is enough quality in this volume to recommend this book to scholars and students interested in development theory and colonization and how both processes might be theorized as mutually constitutive. I have little doubt that the editors and contributors have set down a compelling research agenda that will be carried forward in future publications.
ECONOMIC HISTORY REVIEW

Hence it explores a hitherto largely ignored, or at least neglected link concerning the continuity of the 'colonial mind' in international relations of today.
