Acknowledging the significance of current historiographical debates about different colonial experiences, this book breaks new ground in investigating the extent to which European peoples living in Europe were also subjected to colonialism. The image of the shadow, with its connotations of darkness, distortion, and elasticity, highlights the pervasive, yet uneven, influence of the ideologies and practices of colonialism across the European continent and its consequences for the lives of ordinary Europeans in peripheral regions. This shadow reached its height in the century between the 1860s and 1960s, as nation-states were consolidated and colonial empires expanded and then contracted. The chapters of this volume explore this phenomenon in case studies featuring Ireland, southern Italy, Schleswig, Alsace, Poland, Algeria, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Ukraine and Hungary"--Provided by publisher Notes Papers from a conference entitled "Colonialism within Europe : Fact or Fancy?" held at National University of Ireland, Galway in June 2012 Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Borderlands -- Europe -- History -- Congresses Imperialism -- History -- Congresses Nation-state -- History -- Congresses Indigenous peoples -- Europe -- History -- Congresses Exploitation -- Political aspects -- Europe -- History -- Congresses Social & cultural history -- c 1800 to c 1900 -- Europe. -- 20th century.
