Description

Videogames and Postcolonialism: Empire Plays Back examines the underexplored intersection of empire, colonialism, and interactive gaming across global audiences. This Springer publication analyses how major franchises including Civilization and Age of Empire construct representations of spatiality, political systems, ethics and society through a postcolonial lens. Despite Game Studies' emergence in the nineties, critical analysis of colonialism in videogames remained largely absent until now. The book moves beyond Western gaming cultures to address how games perpetuate colonial ideologies and spatial concepts, offering essential scholarship for understanding the cultural politics embedded in contemporary interactive media and its impact on global audiences.

Key Features

Examines colonialism and empire in videogames from Civilization to Age of Empire franchises.

Analyses how games construct conceptions of spatiality, political systems, ethics and society.

Addresses postcolonial gaming issues relevant to global audiences beyond European and American cultures.

Published by Palgrave Macmillan and Springer as critical Game Studies scholarship.

Explores the neglected treatment of imperialism in interactive media and gaming narratives.
