Abstract:
'Empires of Panic' explores how panics have been historically produced, defined and managed across different colonial, imperial and post-imperial settings, from early 19th-century East Asia to 21st-century America. Contributors consider panic in relation to colonial anxieties, rumours, indigenous resistance and crises, particularly in relation to epidemic disease.
