Jasanoff offers a fresh account of European imperialism that challenges received wisdom about how imperial power was asserted ong>inong> Asia and ong>theong> Middle East. She shows us that Britaong>inong>'s expansion ong>inong>volved more than ong>theong> mere imposition of an "imperial project" over foreign subjects, and that ong>theong> stereotypical "white man's burden" ideology emerged only after long years of cross-cultural encounters. "Edge of ong>Empireong>" enters a world where people lived, loved, mong>inong>gled, and identified with one anoong>theong>r ong>inong> ways richer and more complex than previous accounts have led us to believe were possible. And as this book demonstrates, traces ofthat world remaong>inong> tangible-and topical-today. An ong>inong>novative, persuasive, and provocative work of history.

Led by ong>theong> growong>inong>g statistical and buyong>inong>g power of blacks, Latong>inong>os, and Asians, ong>theong> ong>Newong> Maong>inong>stream is a loose coalition of mong>inong>orities who have been forced to forge ong>theong>ir own identity ong>inong> ong>Americanong> culture -- even as ong>theong>y use and consume goods and services targeted to ong>theong> general public. This shift ong>inong> consumer buyong>inong>g power is not only transformong>inong>g how products are developed, marketed, and bought, it also illustrates that diversity is ong>theong> drivong>inong>g force of ong>Americanong> capitalism.
