Summary

Establishing a framework for this book, the introduction examines the themes of encounters, space and contact zones during the First World War. Arguing that colonial experience cannot be understood without attention to spaces beyond the battlefield, I introduce the reader to the contact zones expored in the chapters. I reflect on the conceptsand methodology adopted, including the importance of intimacy.
