SUMMARY:Weatherhead Initiative on Global History
DESCRIPTION:<h2>"Mapping the End of Empire: American and British Strategic Visions in the Postwar World"</h2><h3>Speaker:</h3><p><strong>Aiyaz Husain</strong>, <em>Historian, Office of the Historian, US Department of State. </em></p><p>Dr. Husain will discuss his new book from Harvard University Press, <em>Mapping the End of Empire: American and British Strategic Visions in the Postwar World.</em> By the end of World War II, strategists in Washington and London looked ahead to a new era in which the United States shouldered global responsibilities and Britain concentrated its regional interests more narrowly. The two powers also viewed the Muslim world through very different lenses. <em>Mapping the End of Empire</em> reveals how Anglo–American perceptions of geography shaped postcolonial futures from the Middle East to South Asia.</p>
