Critical Perspectives on Empire

Elbourne Elizabeth: Empire, Kinship and
Violence

Empire, Kinship and Violence

Family Histories, Indigenous Rights and the Making of Settler Colonialism, 1770-1842

Colonial Caregivers offers a compelling cultural and social history of ayahs (nannies/maids), by exploring domestic intimacy and exploitation in colonial South Asia. Working for British imperial families from the mid-1700s to the mid-1900s, South Asian ayahs, as Chakraborty shows, not only provided domestic labor, but also provided important moral labor for the British Empire. The desexualized racialized ayah archetype upheld British imperial whiteness and sexual purity, and later Indian elite 'upper' caste domestic modernity. Chakraborty argues that the pervasive cultural sentimentalization of the ayah morally legitimized British colonialism, while obscuring the vulnerabilities of caregivers in real-life. Using an archive of petitions and letters from ayahs, fairytales they told to British children, court cases, and vernacular sources, Chakraborty foregrounds the precarious lives, voices, and perspectives of these women. By placing care labor at the center of colonial history, the book decolonizes the history of South Asia and the British Empire.

Ayahs and the Gendered History of Race and Caste in British India

Colonial Caregivers

Why did Britons get up a play wherever they went? Kathleen Wilson reveals how the performance of English theater and a theatricalized way of viewing the world shaped the geopolitics and culture of empire in the long eighteenth century. Ranging across the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans to encompass Kingston, Calcutta, Fort Marlborough, St. Helena and Port Jackson as well as London and provincial towns, she shows how Britons on the move transformed peripheries into historical stages where alternative collectivities were enacted, imagined and lived. Men and women of various ethnicities, classes and legal statuses produced and performed English theater in the world, helping to consolidate a national and imperial culture. The theater of empire also enabled non-British people to adapt or interpret English cultural traditions through their own performances, as Englishness also became a production of non-English peoples across the globe.

"Written in 1774, Edward Long's History of Jamaica, attempted to define White and Black as essentially different and unequal. Catherine Hall unpicks the contradictions in Long's thinking, exposing the insidious myths and stereotypes that have allowed reconfigured forms of racial difference and racial capitalism to live on in contemporary societies"--

"In a compelling new take on the legacies of slavery, Sascha Auerbach explores the origins of the 'global labor market' in the wake of abolition. He recounts the experiences of those shipped across oceans on false pretences and forced to labor under appalling conditions, arguing that their struggles were ultimately key to the system's destruction"--

"Colonising Disability explores the construction and treatment of disability across Britain and its empire from the nineteenth to the early twentieth century. Drawing on a wide range of sources, Esme Cleall explores how disability increasingly became associated with 'difference' and argues that it did so through intersecting with other categories of otherness such as race. Philanthropic, legal, literary, religious, medical, educational, eugenistic and parliamentary texts are examined to unpick representations of disability that, over time, became pervasive with significant ramifications for disabled people. Cleall also uses multiple examples to show how disabled people navigated a wide range of experiences from 'freak shows' in Britain, to missions in India, to immigration systems in Australia, including exploring how they mobilised to resist discrimination and constitute their own identities. By assessing the intersection between disability and race, Dr Cleall opens up questions about 'normalcy' and the making of the imperial self"--

Draws on the linked history of three families to illustrate settler-Indigenous relationships in white settler colonies from 1770-1842. Ranging from Britain and northeastern North America to Australia and southern Africa, Elbourne sheds light on the transnational development of settler colonialism and marginalization of Indigenous peoples.

"This book tracks some of the novel and colorful journeys that British theatre embarked upon over the course of the eighteenth century, from nation to empire and back again. It examines unstudied circuits of theatrical performance extending across the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans to encompass London, Kingston (and other urban centers of Jamaica), Calcutta, Fort Marlborough (Sumatra), St. Helena and Port Jackson (New South Wales), as well as London and archipelagic provincial towns. In each space, the performance of British drama helped consolidate a national and imperial culture that was being forged both within and beyond the nation's borders. Yet in crisscrossing political and oceanic boundaries, and circulating texts, bodies, ideas and practices meant to incarnate the best of the English, and, secondarily, British character, the stage also mobilized competing ideas about authority, cultural difference and national belonging that emanated from the small as well as the great across the flow of practices of everyday life in Britain's expansive domains. Retailing historical myths and collective fantasies, including the helpful if fictive notion of a "national character" itself, theatre was the ultimate emblem of English cultural and racial capital in an age of sail, seizing the imaginations and animating the actions of British subjects and their others ceaselessly traversing the globe"--

Examines how Central and South Asian travelers provincialized Britishness between 1750 and 1857 and how, by appropriating metropolitan media, they recalibrated Eurasian ways of behaving and knowing to counter a chauvinistic British imperialism with Indo-Persian masculine gentility.

The Great Siege of Malta

The war in the Far East from 1939 to 1945, as witnessed first-hand by Scottish soldier and celebrated documentarian Harry BirrellFrom the moment he received a cine-camera at age 10, Harry Birrell devoted his life to documenting the world around him, including his enlistment and his adventures serving in the Burma, Nepal and India. Not only did he capture the war as he saw it, but he kept copious diaries from 1939 to 1945 so that his family would know what he had experienced in the event of his death. These unique record of the campaign are compelling, insightful, funny, charming, moving - all in equal measure. As a soldier posted with the Gurkhas for most of the war, Harry Birrell worked as a surveyor, mapping out the country as the war with the Japanese ebbed and flowed around him. While this might seem like it was away from any action, the job of creating these references for the fighting part of the army was critical and required him to be at the front line in order that the troops and their commanders had the most up to date and accurate maps as the war evolved. As a result, he has an unusual insider overview of that brutal campaign as well as wonderful insight into the Gurkhas under his command.

In works such as The Mask of Anarchy? and "A Philosophical View of Reform,? Matthew C. Borushko argues, Percy Bysshe Shelley intervenes in the reformist crisis of agency occasioned by the dramatic historical and political violence that characterized Britain during the Romantic period. He shows how Shelley's body or work reconceived the possibility of the political possibilities of art and explores the implications of Shelley's nonviolence for later artists and reformers such as George Bernard Shaw to Mohandas K. Gandhi.

In 1946 and 1948, James Conway Davies published volumes one and two of his Episcopal Acts and Cognate Documents Relating to Welsh Dioceses 1066-1272. A notice in the front of volume two indicates that volume three - promised for publication in 1950/1 but never released - would have contained inter alia the acts of the dioceses of Bangor and St Asaph and an index of the acts contained in all three volumes. The editor left behind a massive card index and the galley proofs of the acts of St Asaph and Bangor, and it is these that form the basis of the present volume. It therefore completes what is both a monumental study on and source of information for the Church in medieval Wales.
