Empire, Kinship and Violence
Empire, Kinship and Violence traces the history of three linked imperial families in Britain and across contested colonial borderlands from 1770 to 1842. Elizabeth Elbourne tracks the Haudenosaunee Brants of northeastern North America from the American Revolution to exile in Canada; the Bannisters, a British family of colonial administrators, whistleblowers and entrepreneurs who operated across Australia, Canada and southern Africa; and the Buxto…
Rights, Interpersonal Violence and Settler Colonialism in Early Nineteenth-Century South Africa
Thomas Pringle, a Scottish settler at the Cape Colony and later secretary of the Anti-Slavery Society in England, was both a settler in territory recently conquered from the Xhosa and an advocate against violence on Eastern Cape borderlands. This article examines both aspects of his career in the 1820s and early 1830s, and asks how they relate to one another. While working to put accounts of abuse into trans-imperial circulation, Pringle was caug…
The Abolition of the British Slave Trade Seen from Sierra Leone
This essay discusses the important contributions of Padraic Scanlan’s book Freedom’s Debtors: British Antislavery in Sierra Leone in the Age of Revolution , to the history of the abolition of the slave trade in the British empire. Scanlan’s innovative work emphasizes material concerns rather than altruism in explaining how policing the slave trade in West Africa and attempting to control the formerly enslaved, not least in redeploying them as sol…

Africa
Anglicanism had a limited institutional presence in Africa in the long eighteenth century, not least because the British were largely confined to slave forts before the acquisition of the Cape Colony and Sierra Leone at the end of the period. The relationship between Anglicanism and certain regions of Africa was shaped from the outset by slavery and the slave trade. This chapter focuses on the coastal regions of West Africa and to a more limited …
Violence, Moral Imperialism and Colonial Borderlands, 1770s-1820s
This article argues that the genealogy of a politics of non-violence might usefully consider the promotion of moral imperialism as a precursor that in turn highlights the structural difficulties of a truly non-violent humanitarianism. In the imperial case studies examined from colonial borderlands in the British empire from the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, humanitarian intervention tended to be about working out how to manage v…

Broken Alliance
The article uses the diplomatic efforts of John Brant and Robert Kerr to negotiate land claims with the Colonial Office in 1822 on behalf of the Grand River Six Nations, while presenting themselves (however problematically) as Mohawk indigenous modernizers, as a case study in the complicated interaction between colonialism and ideas of 'tradition' and 'modernity' in the early nineteenth century. Six Nations efforts to adapt to the colonial econom…

The fact so often disputed by the black man
There was considerable debate throughout the early nineteenth century over the legal status and, by extension, the citizenship rights of the Khoekhoe in the Cape Colony. Successive regimes between the 1790s and 1828 (the Dutch East India Company, the British government, the Batavian government and the British again) all accorded a different legal status to the Khoekhoe and San than was granted to whites. In 1828, as part of a wider project of eco…

African Traditional Religion in South Africa
State, Civil Society and Apartheid in South Africa
Race', warfare, and religion in midnineteenth-century Southern Africa
This paper examines the rebellion of much of the non-white population of the frontier districts of the Cape Colony in 1850 and subsequently, when many rose in support of the Xhosa during Mlanjeni's War of 1850 to '53. I am inspired in part by such concerns of Terence Ranger's as the invention of tradition, the role of narrative in selfunderstanding, and the complex relationship between religion and politics. The war has been read as a redemptive …

Most of the essays have been written, not by traditional ecclesiastical historians, but by political, social and cultural historians, a fact which reflects the diversity of approaches to the study of the Church of England in the eightee…
The foundation of the Church Missionary Society
In October 1795 the editors of the fledgling interdenominational journal,the Evangelical Magazine, founded by the LMS director John Eyre with the partial aim of promoting missions, informed its readers of the spectacular success of a week of meetings held in September to form the London Missionary Society.
