This event takes place in-person in Room 108N, North House, 1 Devonshire Place.
In this talk, Choi Chatterjee shared highlights from her recent book, Russia in World History: A Transnational Approach that compares British and Russian imperial history. She spoke about the concept of imperial nationalism found in the works of Vasily Klyuchevsky and George Trevelyan. These historians had a dream that to some may seem an impossible one—to rescue the good nation from the hideous coils of imperialism. Chatterjee considered the role of the historian in writing the nation and empire.
