Exploring the Decolonial Imaginary

This study explores two categories-empire and citizenship-that historians usually study separately. It does so with a unifying focus on racialization in the lives of outstanding women whose careers crossed national borders between 1880 and 1965. It puts an individual, intellectual, and female face on transnational phenomena.
