books demonstrate the commitment of the ‘Studies in Imperialism Series’ to this important historiographical trend, emphasising materiality, ritual, monuments, memory, and various ways of visualising and imagining empire. 56 It is quite clear that many more such studies will follow. It is hoped that the essays in Exhibiting the Empire will make a significant contribution to such developments, while also

Monarchies and Decolonisation in Asia is the third volume we have edited for Manchester University Press’s ‘Studies in Imperialismseries around the previously understudied theme of monarchy – the institution of the crown, the activities of individual sovereigns and other members of royal families, and the culture of royalty – in colonial contexts.

attention they now give to the British royal family overseas. The topic of royalty is notable by its omission from the original five volumes of the Oxford History of the British Empire (1998–99) and, before this collection, as an explicit topic in the Studies in Imperialism series published by Manchester University Press since 1984.

moves in this direction (albeit one framed as global, rather than imperial, history), but there have been wider developments too. For example, recent work on empire and metropolitan culture – as embodied in the ‘Studies in Imperialismseries of which Empire and Mobility is part – includes recent books such as Markku Hokkanen’s Medicine, Mobility and the Empire . 9 Likewise, themes of flow and circulation have been apparent in research on empire informed by postcolonial approaches. In Moving Subjects , for example, Tony Ballantyne and Antoinette Burton make an
