Books by Antoinette Burton

Antoinette Burton challenges nostalgic narratives of the Afro-Asian solidarity that emerged from the 1955 Bandung conference by showing how postcolonial Indian identity was based on the subordination of Africans and blackness.

Focuses on the experiences of three Victorian travelers in Britain to illustrate how 'Englishness' was made and remade in relation to imperialism. This book features an imaginative investigation of diasporic movement in the colonial metropolis.

Offers principles to consider when creating a world history syllabus; and prompts a teacher, rather than aiming for full world coverage, to pick an interpretive focus and thread it through the course.

Essays written by Antoinette Burton since the mid-1990s trace her thinking about modern British history and engage debates about how to think about British imperialism in light of contemporary events.

Antoinette Burton uses a mid-twentieth-century Indian-American authors career to analyze broader issues of postwar Americas understanding of itself and the wider world.
