Imperialism and the Anti-Imperialist Mind
In this major work, Lewis S. Feuer examines critical distinctions between progressive and regressive imperialism.

Monsters and Revolutionaries
Through a study of Reunion, this volume shows how family narrative and discourses around miscegenation are central to colonial history.
