Giordano Nanni Livres

Exploring the imposition of Western European concepts of time during the 19th century, this book delves into how these ideas were integral to colonization in Victoria, Australia, and the Cape Colony, South Africa. It examines the connection between the colonization of time and space, highlighting its role in spreading Christianity, capitalism, and modernity. By analyzing primary sources, it reveals the enduring impact of these time constructs on global culture, making it essential for those interested in the legacy of imperial power and its contemporary implications.

The book is a highly original and long overdue examination of the ways that European concepts of time were imposed on other cultures as a component of colonisation. It brings together two complex subjects - time and colonialism - in an engaging, non-theoretical and accessible style. -- .
