  • Exploring the Knowledge Gap: A Scoping Review of Nutrition Insecurity and Related Factors Among Black Cancer Survivors in the United States

    Open Access•A Burton, Z Abdul-Hameed et al.•ARTICLE•Ecology of Food and Nutrition•2026

    Black people in the United States have the highest death rates for cancer and a lower overall 5-year cancer survival rate than White people. Although current literature demonstrates the importance of diet in cancer survivors' overall health, there is a limited understanding of the relationship between nutrition insecurity and cancer-related outcomes. This review summarizes evidence and knowledge gaps related to nutrition insecurity, food insecuri…

  • Before the modern, beyond the Americas

    A Burton•CHAPTER•Gender History•2024

    Gender history emerged as a professional practice and a subfield of the discipline in the Western academy during an extended moment of global conflict and change. This chapter takes up the presumption that the modern Western past is the universal site of gendered histories through examples of scholarship which grapple with that legacy and seek to make visible how gender works as a historical phenomenon before the modern era and beyond the United …

  • Gender History: A Very Short Introduction: A Very Short Introduction

    A Burton•BOOK•Gender History•2024

    This volume is designed to introduce readers to the scholarly field of gender history: its origins, development, reception, recalibrations, and frictions. It offers a set of working definitions of gender as a descriptive category and as a category of historical analysis, tracing the emergence, usage, and applicability of these entwined subjects across a range of times and places in the scholarship of the last five decades. Inevitably political, g…

  • Beyond the big tent: Recontextualizing Settler Colonial Studies

    A Burton•ARTICLE•Settler Colonial Studies•2024

    This reflection on the field of Settler Colonial Studies uses the "big tent" metaphor to ask what is seen to be encompassed in the field; who is left out and how attached its practitioners are not just to teleology but to the dialectic logics of colonialism itself. Drawing on Burton's 30 years of work in the field of colonial and imperial history, it queries some of the premises of settler colonial studies' remit asks how attention to gender and …

    Barbara Pym's fiction has been viewed as an anthropological approach to the social mores of postwar Britain.

    This essay reads Phyllis Naidoo's 1990 Waiting to Die in Pretoria as a radical requiem for Black death under apartheid.

    Scholars who have admired Kevin Grant’s earlier research on the subject of hunger strikes will welcome this book, Last Weapons: Hunger Strikes and Fasts in the British Empire, 1890–1948, which does a magisterial job of showing how entangled Russian, English, Irish, and Indian histories of the subject are, helping us understand the ways that the modern imperial world out of which it emerged made this practice truly transcolonial in the nineteenth …

    Gender, Sexuality and Colonial Modernities considers the ways in which modernity was constructed, in all its incompleteness, through colonialism. Using a variety of archival resources and equally diverse methodologies, the authors trace modernity's unstable foundations in the slippages and ruptures of colonial gender and sexual politics. As a whole, the essays illustrate that modern colonial regimes are never self-evidently hegemonic, but are alw…

  • Who Needs the Nation? Interrogating 'British' History

    Open Access•A Burton•ARTICLE•Journal of Historical Sociology•1997•Cited by: 37

    This paper pursues the question 'who needs the nation?' which was first posed by Kobena Mercer, the Black British cultural critic, in Welcome to the Jungle (1994). It interrogates not just the proposition of who needs the nation as a fixed referent, but who can afford to be content to be contained by its disciplinary boundaries. These are questions of interest to practitioners committed to understanding what the ramifications are for national his…

The consolidation of a common “settler” identity derived from racially discriminatory treatment under both the colonial and the apartheid state was always already shaped by anxieties about proximity to, and dependence on, “native” Africans.

The accounts left by these three sojourners—all prominent, educated Indians—represent complex, critical ethnographies of "native" metropolitan society and offer revealing glimpses of what it was like to be a colonial subject in fin-de-siècle Britain.
