《帝国的紧张局势》的起因是这样一个前提，即欧洲是由帝国计划决定的，就像殖民遭遇是由欧洲的事件和冲突决定的一样，帝国紧张局势的贡献者从一个新的角度考察了大都市与殖民地的关系。这15篇文章以各种方式展示了大都市和殖民地的“文明使命”为澄清资产阶级秩序提供了新的场所。聚焦于十八世纪、十九世纪和二十世纪初，他们展示了现代性和福利的新定义是如何发展的，以及包容和排斥的新论述和实践是如何竞争和制定的。撰稿人认为，殖民研究不能再局限于它曾经依赖的分析单位；它必须考虑到不断变化的政治地形，即殖民者和殖民者的类别在不同的时代被塑造和塑造，而不是对被殖民者的研究。
Starting with the premise that Europe was made by its imperial projects as much as colonial encounters were shaped by events and conflicts in Europe, the contributors to Tensions of Empire investigate metropolitan-colonial relationships from a new perspective. The fifteen essays demonstrate various ways in which "civilizing missions" in both metropolis and colony provided new sites for clarifying a bourgeois order. Focusing on the eighteenth, nineteenth, and early twentieth centuries, they show how new definitions of modernity and welfare were developed and how new discourses and practices of inclusion and exclusion were contested and worked out. The contributors argue that colonial studies can no longer be confined to the units of analysis on which it once relied; instead of being the study of "the colonized," it must account for the shifting political terrain on which the very categories of colonized and colonizer have been shaped and patterned at different times.
