Synopsis
A clear, thoughtful look at who the backward peoples are and how they relate to the modern world. Discover the ideas that shaped early 20th‑century debates on civilization, progress, and intercultural relations.
This book defines “backward” and “forward” in broad terms, then works to explain why some societies lag behind others. It examines diverse regions—from Africa and Asia to the Indian subcontinent and the Americas—and discusses how education, governance, and contact with white‑run societies have influenced development. The text also surveys the history of interactions between nations, missionaries, and local communities, with attention to how power and culture intersect in global relations. Maps and a bibliography accompany the discussion for further study.
Readers will gain a framework for understanding historical comparisons of culture and progress, the role of external influence, and the complexities of self‑determination within a changing world.
- How civilizations are measured and why viewpoints differ across eras
- Regional case studies that illuminate vast historical patterns
- The interplay of education, governance, and contact with dominant powers
- Guidance for further study through maps and a scholarly bibliography
Ideal for readers of history, anthropology, and World‑relations studies seeking a historically grounded perspective on how different societies have related to each other.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the attitudes and relationships between the dominant White peoples and those deemed as 'backward', proposing a complex matrix for determining the degree of backwardness and a suggested 100 point scale. The author, an experienced administrator in various parts of the British Empire, organizes the subject geographically, with chapters on the different regions of the world and the peoples inhabiting them. The author provides historical context and proposes an explanation for the current state of affairs in different areas, suggesting that the backward or progressive nature of a people relies on their education, public health, and political structures, as well as their exposure to the influence of more advanced nations. He does not shy away from addressing the role of conquest and imperialism in the creation of these circumstances, but suggests that the future of these peoples lies in education and autonomy. This book will appeal to readers in multiple disciplines, with its insightful and compassionate attempt to understand global power dynamics at the very beginning of the 20th century. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
