Jewel in the Crown/Western Progress

Abstract: A 5 page research paper in which the writer argues that history shows that the rationalized foundations for imperialism were pure illusion and the behavior of Western powers in the third world throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth century is one of repression and racism. This legacy is shown well in Paul Scott's novel The Jewel in the Crown, and the novel is discussed as exemplary of this position. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
