Daniel Conway. Masculinities, Militarisation and the End Conscription Campaign
In the 1970s, South Africa's apartheid regime found itself beset by high oil prices, international criticism, trade-union militancy, student strikes, and widespread defiance. Beginning in 1978, the new state president, P. W. Botha, responded by further militarizing the country. The South African Defense Forces (SADF), comprising tens of thousands of conscripted white men as well recruits from other communities, became more deeply engaged in regio…

Guns, Race, and Skill in Nineteenth-Century Southern Africa
In colonial southern Africa there were plenty of guns and plenty of skilled shooters, or so it seems. South Africa's "gun society" originated in the seventeenth century, when the Dutch East India Company encouraged the European settlers of the Cape of Good Hope to procure firearms and to serve in the militia. The European farmers (called Boers) who crossed the colonial boundaries into the African interior distributed guns to Africans, in spite of…
Missions for Science
Imperialism is drawing the attention of more historians of science, technology, and medicine, as well as environmental historians. Mainly these historians have written about the British and French empires. David McBride's new book focuses on American imperialism. He explores medical and technological aspects of imperialism in four places: the American South, Liberia, Haiti, and the Panama Canal Zone. Of course, only the Canal Zone was a formal co…

Space in the Tropics
In this imaginative work, Peter Redfield crosses the boundaries of anthropology, geography, history, and philosophy. He focuses on the two most significant efforts to develop French Guiana: the penal colony where prisoners were kept from 1852 to 1946, and the European space center, which, dominated by the French, originated in the 1960s and still operates today. Redfield assesses these two schemes for colonial development and argues that "modern …
Science, Technology and Medicine in Colonial India (review)
Science, technology, and medicine played a central role in the history of modern imperialism. This argument is now confirmed by the editors of The New Cambridge History of India, who have included David Arnold's exceptionally useful book in their prestigious series. Each section and chapter is richly documented with footnotes to primary sources and secondary works. Arnold has also included a helpful biographical index. These features will make Sc…
