I have to write a paper based on the book Edge of Empires by Jasanoff but i'm having some trouble with the book. I was wondering if anyone has any general knowledge on the prompt that would me with the essay.
"The 'official history' of empire and empire-building is usually told from the 'top down,' from the perspective of the colonizing metropolis imposing its will upon others. But the history of empire is much more complex and is shaped by both the colonizer and the colonized. Discuss the political, economic, and social development of the Second British Empire from the perspective of the frontier, the 'bottom up' point of view.
