Description

Explore the intersection of digital media and history with Videogames and Postcolonialism: Empire Plays Back. Published by Palgrave Macmillan, this book addresses a significant gap in Game Studies by examining how empire and colonialism are represented in interactive media. While franchises like Civilization and Age of Empires have been popular since the nineties, the academic study of their colonial implications has often been overlooked. This text analyzes how certain video games build concepts of political systems, ethics, society, and spatiality that carry colonial themes. Instead of focusing solely on Western gaming cultures, the research looks at how these themes affect a global audience. It provides a necessary look at how digital worlds reflect and construct complex ideas about power and territory. This book is an essential resource for those studying the social impact of gaming and the history of global politics in digital spaces.
