Lusaka
The colonial Garden City Movement represents the culmination of a whole sequence of relationships between botany and imperialism that had developed from the seventeenth century onwards, but particularly in the Victorian era. Botany was central to the transnationality of imperialism and botanical exploration while plant collecting fed into many Victorian phenomena in Britain which also had their colonial counterparts. These were intended to allevi…

Conclusion
This concluding chapter returns to the lessons discussed in previous chapters to argue the need for further studies into the cultural dimensions of empire. For the rulers and protagonists of empire, such cultural instruments represent the allegedly civilised essence of empire. The chapter directs attention towards the cultural economy, with the associated themes of cultural capital, traffic, and the dissemination of skills and ideas. All of these…
The Press
This chapter assesses the extent to which the non-political columns of selected newspapers revealed an emphasis on the cultural unity of the empire or served to underpin growing local affinities and forms of consciousness. The latter became increasingly prominent, for example as sporting encounters became more common between metropolitan and colonial teams, as well as among fixtures in neighbouring territories or on an international basis. These …
Theatre
This chapter turns to theatrical performances — whether plays, variety shows, or musicals — which were among the flagship cultural events of the British Empire from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries. It considers both amateur performers as well as professionals who travel from Britain to perform in the colonies. The flourishing of theatre in colonial military garrisons is also studied. Theatre travelled with the earliest settlers, with th…
Imperial Ceremonial
This chapter examines the manner in which imperial acquisitions often started and ended with ceremonies. There were overt expressions of imperial ideology, performances of hegemony and power relations, as well as efforts to impress, entertain, and overawe the populace. How far or how rapidly such ideals began to fade is a matter of debate for individual colonies. Yet it is apparent that the tradition of the ceremonial was taken over by the settle…
Photography
This chapter explores the ways in which the camera became an instrument of globalisation, a creator of commercial opportunities, and an aesthetic form stimulating theoretical debate. It shows how the camera became one of the key technologies of the century, as significant in its own way as steam power, the telegraph, and more accurate weaponry. Indeed, the art of photography seemed ideally suited to the conditions of empire and the ideology of im…
Statuary and Sculpture
This chapter turns to sculptures, statuary, and memorials. In visualising individuals (usually in a heroic or idealised manner), statues encapsulate in a very solid form the ideology of an age. Statues can be interpreted as conscious constructions of the language of power, transforming the city into an imperial text. They also symbolise dominance and exclusion, in other words, the marginalisation of indigenous peoples and minorities. Emblematic o…
A Cultural History of the British Empire
Nyasaland
The Zambezi
The Scottish Deathscape in South Asia
Imperial deaths were given the status of martyrdoms in the cause of what European contemporaries considered the advance of civilisation. In many cases burials stimulated the overblown architecture of commemoration discovered in many places in the Indian Ocean world. There could well have been at least 1,000 cemeteries and church graveyards in South Asia, as well as grandiloquent memorials in cathedrals and churches throughout the region. While th…
Cultures of Display
L’histoire impériale en général n’a reçu que peu d’attention de la part des universitaires britanniques avant les années 1950. Jusque-là, cette histoire était traitée de manière très ethnocentrique, souvent avec une attention particulière portée sur la gouvernance impériale venue d’en haut. De manière significative, l’histoire britannique était largement enseignée sans aucune référence à sa dimension impériale, mis à part quelques champs d’études…
The Complex Circuit Boards of Empire
Stability and Instability in Micro and Macro Contexts
The Persistence of Empire in Metropolitan Culture
The scholarly literature on the end of the British Empire is brimming with all kinds of evocative metaphors. If a sixty-year implosion sounds something like a contradiction in terms, perhaps we can think instead of a sequence of implosions, possibly ultimately detonating each other. Certainly, the years 1947–1948 looked rather like an implosion with rapid decolonisations in India, Pakistan, Burma and Sri Lanka, the departure of Ireland from the C…

The Empire of Nature
Changing approaches to hunting constitute an important theme in human history. This book uses hunting as one focus for the complex interaction of Europeans with Africans and Indians. It seeks to illuminate the nature of imperial power when exercised in the relationship between humans and the natural world. The main geographical emphasis is on southern, Central and East Africa, as well as South Asia, but reference is made to other parts of Africa …
Gender and imperialism
This book marks an important new intervention into a vibrant area of scholarship, creating a dialogue between the histories of imperialism and of women and gender. By engaging critically with both traditional British imperial history and colonial discourse analysis, the essays demonstrate how feminist historians can play a central role in creating new histories of British imperialism. Chronologically, the focus is on the late eighteenth to early …
British culture and the end of empire
This book is the first major attempt to examine the cultural manifestations of the demise of imperialism as a social and political ideology in post-war Britain. Far from being a matter of indifference or resigned acceptance as is often suggested, the fall of the British Empire came as a profound shock to the British national imagination, and resonated widely in British popular culture. The sheer range of subjects discussed, from the satire boom o…

Empire and National Identities
The modern historiography of the origins of British national identities seems riven with contradictions and paradoxes. First there is a major chronological problem. Is the forging of Britishness to be located in the sixteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth or nineteenth centuries? Second, there is a difficulty in the compilation of such identities. Are they to be found in negative reactions to the perceived contemporary identities of others or in posit…
Imperial cities

Sites of imperial memory
‘Sites of Imperial Memory' contains a mine of new insights and perspectives. It provides a panorama of inspiring case studies from various imperial contexts, covering both metropoles and colonies, and demonstrates how rewarding it can be to anchor memory studies more firmly in the field of imperial history. The volume is particularly strong when it comes to exploring the multiple ways in which the use of symbols and public memory in colonial time…
Country houses and the British Empire, 1700–1930
The 'Indian Room' label from Osterley's bell-pull system illustrates the economic and cultural aspects of the relationship between country houses and the British Empire. This book is a study of that relationship, of the ways in which country houses like Osterley served as venues for the expression of personal and national imperial engagement between 1700 and 1930. A rare scholarly analysis of the history of country houses that goes beyond an arch…
The Souls of White Folk
Kenya's white settlers have been alternately celebrated and condemned, painted as romantic pioneers or hedonistic bed-hoppers or crude racists. The souls of white folk examines settlers not as caricatures, but as people inhabiting a unique historical moment. It takes seriously - though not uncritically - what settlers said, how they viewed themselves and their world. It argues that the settler soul was composed of a series of interlaced ideas: se…
Developing Africa
This book investigates development in British, French and Portuguese colonial Africa during the last decades of colonial rule. During this period, development became the central concept underpinning the relationship between metropolitan Europe and colonial Africa. Combining historiographical accounts with analyses from other academic viewpoints, this book investigates a range of contexts, from agriculture to mass media. With its focus on the conc…
Genteel women

The empire in one city
From the late eighteenth century to the early twentieth century, Liverpool was frequently referred to as the ‘second city of the empire’. Yet, the role of Liverpool within the British imperial system and the impact on the city of its colonial connections remain underplayed in recent writing on both Liverpool and the empire. However, ‘inconvenient’ this may prove, this specially-commissioned collection of essays demonstrates that the imperial dime…

French colonial Dakar
This book deals with the planning culture and architectural endeavours that shaped the model space of French colonial Dakar, a prominent city in West Africa. The extra-European planning history of Europe is a burgeoning field in scholarly study and literature, particularly in the last few decades, but there has been a clear tendency to focus on the more privileged colonies in the contemporary colonial order, such as British India and the French c…

The French empire at war 1940–45
The French empire at war draws on original research in France and Britain to investigate the history of the divided French empire - the Vichy and the Free French empires - during the Second World War.What emerges is a fascinating story. While it is clear that both the Vichy and Free French colonial authorities were only rarely masters of their own destiny during the war, preservation of limited imperial control served them both in different ways.…
The French empire between the wars
By considering the distinctiveness of the inter-war years as a discrete period of colonial change, this book addresses several larger issues, such as tracing the origins of decolonization in the rise of colonial nationalism, and a re-assessment of the impact of inter-war colonial rebellions in Africa, Syria and Indochina. The book also connects French theories of colonial governance to the lived experience of colonial rule in a period scarred by …
Irish, Scottish, Welsh and English Worlds? A Four‐Nation Approach to the History of the British Empire
A four‐nation approach to the history of the British Empire is becoming increasingly necessary. For a number of years, it has been accepted that the domestic history of the British and Hibernian Isles (sometimes known as the Atlantic Archipelago) can only be understood in terms of an analysis on the basis of the four constituent ethnicities of those islands (Irish, Scottish, Welsh and English). Even these four conceal further ethnic breakdowns, b…

Corticosteroid Responses to the Psychotherapy of Reactive Depressions
Detailed longitudinal psychiatric and endocrine observations are reported on 6 women receiving psychotherapy for reactive depressions. The authors hypothesized that confrontation of the precipitating loss during psychotherapy would be transiently more painful to the patient than the previous organized depressive equilibrium state. It was therefore predicted that corticosteroid excretion, as an index of emotional distress, would be highest during …

The partition of Africa, 1880-1900 and European imperialism in the nineteenth century
Much of the historical debate surrounding the partition of Africa, the events that led up to it and its implications for the continent itself and for the rest of the world is so controversial that it is difficult to provide a coherent survey of the shifting theories of the last twenty years. In this pamphlet Dr MacKenzie attempts to do this, by sketching the historical background to the partition, surveying the events of the partition in the four…

Chivalry, social Darwinism and ritualised killing
The central significance of the Hunt in the ideology of late nineteenth-century imperialism has never been fully realised. The importance of the Hunt can be identified at every level of the theory and practice of the imperial ethos. It played a part in popular imperialism in Britain. In Africa it acted as a vital point of interaction between Africans and Europeans. Explorers, prospectors, missionaries and pioneers were also hunters. The ivory-hun…

Imagined Battles
For thousands of years, art has interpreted the experience of war - its methods, human costs and moral ambiguities - and has offered historians a wealth of testimony that is only beginning to be systematically explored. In this wide-ranging study, Peter Paret discusses 47 paintings and prints as complex documents of war in Europe since the Renaissance and as examples of the artist's use of war as a metaphor for the human condition. The images inc…

European Impact and Pacific Influence
British and German ambitions have clashed in the Pacific at many times in the last two centuries. This is a study of those episodes, and their effects on the European powers and the Pacific Islanders involved. It throws light on the activities of missionaries in Micronesia, head-hunters in New Guinea, Law-makers in Tonga and the influence of the British and Germans in the region. The book considers: European perceptions of Pacific islanders and v…
