The King’s Peace
In the 2022 Queen's Speech, read by the Prince of Wales to Parliament on 10 May, the British government declared that it was undertaking a 'leading role in defending democracy and freedom across the world'.Its performance closer to home, however, suggests otherwise.Recent legislation has increased the power, and lack of accountability, of the police, Parliament and government officials, as well as restricting the right to peaceful assembly and pr…

Colonial Terror
Focusing on India between the early nineteenth century and the First World War, Colonial Terror explores the centrality of the torture of Indian bodies to the law-preserving violence of colonial rule—of some of the ways in which, in other words, extraordinary violence was embedded in the ordinary operation of colonial states. Although enacted largely by Indians on Indian bodies, particularly by subaltern members of the police, the book argues tha…
Sanitizing Modernity
Sanitizing Modernity
The notion of an all-embracing colonial governmentality that, in Homi Bhabha’s famous phrase, ‘appropriates, directs, and dominates its various spheres of activity’ (1986: 154) has for the most part been discarded by scholars of colonialism. Yet, governmentality continues to appear in scholarship as a set of technologies that are efficaciously applied to a variety of subjects in different contexts and time periods. Is it perhaps the case that thi…
Jane McCabe. Race, Tea and Colonial Resettlement
In 1900 the Reverend John Anderson Graham established St. Andrew’s Colonial Homes, designed to “rescue” Anglo-Indian children, born of European (primarily British) tea-planter fathers and Indian mothers, and train them for careers as farm laborers (the boys) and domestic workers (the girls)—and not in India but, incredibly, in New Zealand. For it was in New Zealand that such children could, according to Graham’s vision, “leave behind the stigmas …
Purifying Empire
Purifying Empire explores the material, cultural and moral fragmentation of the boundaries of imperial and colonial rule in the British Empire in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It charts how a particular bio-political project, namely the drive to regulate the obscene in late nineteenth-century Britain, was transformed from a national into a global and imperial venture and then re-localized in two different colonial contexts, I…
Communalism, Globalization, and Governmentality
Any viable explanation of communalism must go beyond viewing all communalisms as nationalist fragments to delineate the differing natures of these fragments, as well as to study their changing configuration over time, including the ways in which they have been shaped by globalization. But since what distinguishes contemporary global processes from earlier geopolitical formations is that individuals are encouraged to voluntarily seek inclusion in …
Purity, Obscenity and the Making of an Imperial Censorship System
While the British Home Secretary William Joynson-Hicks was undoubtedly the most avid exponent of the purported effect of 'impure' literature on Britain's linguistic — and by extension racial and national — purity, he was by no means the first. By the late nineteenth century, community organisations and the state, as well as the newly emergent medical profession, had come to form a 'medico-moral alliance' in Britain which attempted to shift the fo…
Anthropology and Alcohol Studies
Infrastructures are material forms that allow for the possibility of exchange over space. They are the physical networks through which goods, ideas, waste, power, people, and finance are trafficked. In this article I trace the range of anthropological ...Read More
