Capitalism and Slavery Compensation
The Slave Compensation Commission distributed no less than £20 million between 1834 and 1845, making compensation “the largest single financial operation undertaken by the British state to date.” In his book The Price of Emancipation, Nicholas Draper uses the commission's untapped records to construct what amounts to a forensic prosopography, endeavoring to “locate the accountability for slavery more precisely” than has previously been possible. …
More Early Helladic Sealings From Geraki in Laconia, Greece
In 2002, excavations conducted by the University of Amsterdam at the acropolis site of Geraki (Laconia) revealed a storage room attached to the EH II defensive wall, apparently a casemate built into that wall. Along with pottery and abundant destruction debris were many fragments of clay sealings, some stamped with seal impressions. Sealings had already been discovered at Geraki in 1997 ( OJA 18.4, 1999 = Geraki I). Together with the new sealings…
At Home with the Empire
This pioneering 2006 volume addresses the question of how Britain's empire was lived through everyday practices - in church and chapel, by readers at home, as embodied in sexualities or forms of citizenship, as narrated in histories - from the eighteenth century to the present. Leading historians explore the imperial experience and legacy for those located, physically or imaginatively, 'at home,' from the impact of empire on constructions of woma…

Rediscovering Christianity after the Postmodern Turn
Congregational missions and the making of an imperial culture in nineteenth-century England
This book explores the missionary movement's influence on popular perceptions of empire and race in nineteenth-century England. The foreign missionary endeavor was one of the most influential of the channels through which nineteenth-century Britons encountered the colonies, and because of their ties to organized religion, foreign missionary societies enjoyed more regular access to a popular audience than any other colonial lobby. Focusing on the …
“The Conversion of Englishmen and the Conversion of the World Inseparable”Missionary Imperialism and the Language of Class in Early Industrial Britain
This chapter focuses on the evangelical and missionary association of the heathen classes at home with the heathen races that populated Britain's colonial empire at the turn of the nineteenth century, investigating when and why evangelical ministers began to view the laboring poor as comparable to the Empire's heathen races. It also examines what the heathens abroad and heathens at home have in common in the minds of contemporary evangelicals.
