Absolutely delighted about the publication of UNCONQUERED STATES (Oxford University Press), which looks at the global history of non-European powers in the imperial age.

Join our book launches in Honolulu (Wednesday, 28 February 2025, 5pm, Imin Conference Center, University of Hawai'i) and London (LSE, tba) in the new year.
In the heyday of empire, most of the world was ruled, directly or indirectly, by the European powers. The book explores the ways in which countries such as China, Ethiopia, Japan, the Ottoman Empire, Persia, and Siam managed to keep European imperialism at bay.
Congratulations! It looks fascinating and it seems like a great complement to Berger + Miller's "Nationalizing Empires" (CEU press 2015). The chapters of your volume would have been very helpful when writing my own book on the world history of nationalism.
Thank you, @christophersmith.bsky.social 🙏 we briefly discuss different notions of (and Persian, Ottoman, Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Amharic terms for) sovereignty in the intro of the book
