The book studies the Anglo-American debate in which British officials, led by Lord Hailey, countered American criticisms of imperial rule by emphasizing economic development and peace-keeping as new, non-racial justifications for western authority. These are themes that have retained a powerful resonance on the post-war world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51735851565344,"sku":"NEW0312232144","price":121.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61_bkgGFSJL.jpg?v=1779497840","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/lord-hailey-the-colonial-office-and-the-politics-of-race-and-empire-in-the-seco-the-loss-of-white-prestige-st-antonys-series-0312232144","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
