A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Arjun Varquel writes and teaches about empire, war, and political change in the modern world. His work is driven by a desire to understand how large structures of power intersect with the everyday decisions of individuals and communities. He is particularly interested in the ways that crisis moments - wars, economic shocks, sudden regime changes - reshape ideas of legitimacy and justice for both rulers and ruled.Varquel's engagement with colonial history began in family stories about relatives who had served, resisted, or simply tried to survive under shifting imperial regimes. Those accounts, full of ambiguity rather than easy heroism, inform his sensitivity to moral complexity in the archive. He has spent many years reading across imperial and national historiographies, drawn especially to scholarship that connects African and Asian experiences in a single analytical frame.In his writing, Varquel aims to make dense historical debates accessible without flattening them. He is committed to showing how arguments about the past matter for how we understand present inequalities and global politics. The Colonial War Within a World War reflects that commitment, offering readers a structured way to think about decolonisation as a process forged in the heat of total war, rather than as a tidy postscript to it.
