是否有可能在不失去对个人经历的关注的情况下改变我们的历史镜头。比较和全球历史呈现出特殊的困境，因为作者必须获得专业知识，并解释如此多的地区，国家和时代的背景。在最近帝国主义理论家的立场的强化下，这有时可能会回到文化和社会历史学家试图避免的“自上而下的历史”方法。撇开类型问题不谈，《殖民关系》代表了一个令人兴奋的十字路口的学术。展示了突破，优势，和当前的一天历史学科的困境，它的方法揭示了一个更广泛的实践，但一个不忽视特殊性的兴趣日益增长。本书的叙述摆脱了国家的束缚，仍然向读者介绍了社会各个阶层的不同类型的人。它使我们能够瞥见他们在地球仪和不断变化的地方空间中的一些运动和网络。这本书是由性别、殖民主义和帝国主义的主要学者所作的细致研究的产物，包括著名的剑桥系列编辑的工作，为读者提供了对温哥华岛、不列颠哥伦比亚省及其他地区的重要新见解。安麦格拉思澳大利亚国立大学
whether it is possible to alternate our historical lenses without losing focus on individual experiences. Comparative and global history presents special dilemmas as the author must gain expertise and explain the contexts of so many regions, nations, and eras. Reinforced by the standpoint of recent theorists of imperialism, this can sometimes revert to the very ‘‘history from the top’’ approach that cultural and social historians have attempted to avoid. Genre concerns aside, Colonial Relations represents scholarship at an exciting crossroads. Demonstrating the breakthroughs, strengths, and dilemmas of the current day history discipline, its approach reveals the growing interest in a more expansive practice yet one that does not neglect specificity. Escaping nation-bounded framings, this book’s accounts still introduce the reader to different types of people at all levels of society. It enables us to glimpse some of their movements and enmeshments across the globe and in ever-changing local spaces. The product of meticulous research informed by key scholars of gender, colonialism, and imperialism, including the work of the eminent Cambridge Series editors, this book provides the reader with important new insights into Vancouver Island, British Columbia, and beyond. ann mcgrath Australian National University
