The Empire of Progress: West Africans, Indians, and Britons at the British Empire Exhibition, 1924-25 - Hardcover

by D. Stephen (Author)

This much-needed study of the British Empire Exhibition reveals durable, persistent connections between empire and domestic society in Britain during the interwar years. It demonstrates that the Exhibition was a marker of how by 1924, imperial relations were increasingly likely to be shaped by forces located on the colonial periphery.
