The Case for Colonialism

In this thought-provoking book, Professor Bruce Gilley responds to widespread criticism of his controversial 2017 article, "The Case for Colonialism," by elaborating on his argument for reconsidering colonialism. He defends his position with empirical rigor and humor, challenging anti-colonial critics and urging future scholars to re-examine the subject with an open mind. Gilley’s work aims to provoke debate and inspire a reassessment of a heavily scrutinized aspect of history.
