Cambridge University Press Colonial Lives Across the British Empire
Book SynopsisThis volume uses a series of portraits of 'imperial lives' in order to rethink the history of the British Empire in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Leading imperial historians examine how individuals and ideas moved between, shaped and were shaped by the various sites of empire.Trade ReviewReview of the hardback: '[Colonial Lives] brings together recent work on biography and subjectivity on the one hand and the literature on space and place that has done much to shape contemporary apprehensions of empire, and it does so with fresh insight and a lot of intellectual energy as well.' Journal of Colonialism and Colonial HistoryReview of the hardback: '… this is a fine collection of scholarly essays that shed important light on the complex spatialities of the British Empire. As such it deserves a wide readership. One hopes it will inspire further scholarship to elucidate those new networks that were forged by colonised subjects and that similarly spanned imperial space and shaped subjectivities.' Journal of Historical GeographyReview of the hardback: 'Colonial Lives amply demonstrates what biography at its best can do: provide a window into larger subjects and themes, readable and compelling human sized history.' Journal of Historical BiographyReview of the hardback: 'This book offers more than simply a new spatial framework for understanding empire; it is a series of biographical sketches of life histories that explore the complexity and ambiguity of trans imperial identity through the tracing and mapping of careers across multiple sites of empire.' Journal of Southern African StudiesReview of the hardback: 'Colonial Lives across the British Empire: Imperial Careering in the Long Nineteenth Century, gives readers a solid and more complex sense of the individuals, many of them not well known, who travelled to or worked in the remoter parts of the British empire. Through these individual lives, and as a result of the editors' fine introduction, the reader better understands the idiosyncratic, varied, and complicated nature of being a colonial during that period.' Studies in English Literature 1500–1900'The volume as a whole works very well as a way of questioning the conventions of writing about the imperial past … Taken as a whole the collection offers a series of intriguing paths that begin to trace out what mightbe a new historical geography of the circuits of empire.'

Cambridge University Press Shakespeares Tercentenary
Book SynopsisThe 1916 global commemorations of the three-hundredth anniversary of Shakespeare's death responded to imperial and national identity crises during the First World War. This study juxtaposes patriotic uses of Shakespeare with decentralising, racially and socially empowering voices, illuminating Shakespeare's legacies in modern politics.Trade Review'Shakespeare's Tercentenary is the first extensively documented and critically enriched survey of the 1916 celebrations on both sides of the Atlantic.This monograph addresses a topic essential to grasp Shakespeare's presence in the early decades of the twentieth-century and it will equally appeal to Shakespeare scholars, historians and students of cultural memory.' Clara Calvo, Professor of English Studies, University of Murcia'This book widens, deepens, and refines Shakespeare commemoration studies. The author's astute analysis of the Tercentenary is based on copious new sources and a sophisticated, theory-informed sense of how it serves many purposes, from global to national to local. Situating fine-grained interpretations in a rich context of fracturing empires, while also attending to voices from the margins of US society, she unpacks the contradictions underlying events celebrating Shakespeare as both 'universal' and English.' Coppélia Kahn, Professor Emerita of English, Brown University'No other scholar has Monika Smialkowska's sheer breadth of understanding of the global impact of the Shakespeare Tercentenary and of the extraordinary variety of uses to which Shakespeare was put in 1916, from patriotic to pacifist, from imperialist to anti-colonial, from racist to racially empowering. This is a fascinating and original study of the place of Shakespeare in global collective memory.' Gordon McMullan, Professor of English, King's College LondonTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1. 'Unser Shakespeare'? the tercentenary and Germany; 2. 'Our English Shakespeare'? the tercentenary and Britain; 3. Shakespeare among the Allies; 4. 'Not primarily patriotic'? the tercentenary and American national identity; 5. Voices from the margins: the tercentenary and American racial and ethnic minorities; Conclusion: lest we forget.

Cambridge University Press Colonial Origins of Democracy and Dictatorship
Book SynopsisWhy are some countries more democratic than others? For most non-European countries, elections began under Western colonial rule. However, existing research largely overlooks these democratic origins. Analyzing a global sample of colonies across four centuries, this book explains the emergence of colonial electoral institutions and their lasting impact. The degree of democracy in the metropole, the size of the white settler population, and pressure from non-Europeans all shaped the timing and form of colonial elections. White settlers and non-white middle classes educated in the colonizer''s language usually gained early elections but settler minorities resisted subsequent franchise expansion. Authoritarian metropoles blocked elections entirely. Countries with lengthy exposure to competitive colonial institutions tended to consolidate democracies after independence. By contrast, countries with shorter electoral episodes usually shed democratic institutions and countries that were denied colonial elections consolidated stable dictatorships. Regime trajectories shaped by colonial rule persist to the present day.

Cambridge University Press Blacks of the Land
Book SynopsisProfessors Barbara Weinstein and James Woodard have translated John M. Monteiro's field-defining work from its original Portuguese into English. The book engages with themes central to slavery studies and ethnohistory and makes clear the degree to which native peoples shaped the colonial history of southeastern Brazil.Trade Review'Woodard and Weinstein deserve much praise for their work on this important edition and translation of Monteiro's book. It will bring his interdisciplinary methods and comparative perspective on slavery to an even wider readership of historians, anthropologists, and their students. Perhaps most importantly, it will reaffirm the historical roles played by indigenous peoples in the construction of colonial societies across the Americas.' Heather F. Roller, The American Historical Review'Specialists and students of slavery studies will certainly benefit from Monteiro's interdisciplinary approach and exhaustive analysis. Non-specialists interested in histories of colonial encounters and colonial labour systems will profit as well from this thorough edition.' Ana Moledo, ConnectionsTable of ContentsForeword; Blacks of the land: preface and acknowledgments; 1. The transformation of indigenous São Paulo in the sixteenth century; 2. Backcountry incursions and the expansion of the labour force; 3. The granary of Brazil; 4. The regime of personal service; 5. Masters and Indians; 6. The roots of rural poverty; 7.

Cambridge University Press Shadows of Empire The Indian Nobility of Cusco 17501825 90 Cambridge Latin American Studies Series Number 90
Book SynopsisThe Indian nobility of the Andes - largely descended from the Inca monarchs and other pre-conquest lords - occupied a crucial economic and political position in late colonial Andean society, a position widely accepted as legitimate until the TÃpac Amaru rebellion. Shadows of Empire traces the history of this late colonial elite and examines the pre-conquest and colonial foundations of their privilege and authority. It brings to light the organization and the ideology of the Indian nobility in the bishopric of Cusco in the decades before the rebellion, and uses this nobility as a lens through which to study the internal organization and tension of late colonial Indian communities. The work analyzes the significance of the collapse of the Indian nobility, both repudiated by the Indian commons and the crown in the last years of Spanish rule, following the rebellion to the emergence of the creole-dominated republican order after 1825.Trade Review"This is a fine-grained study, meticulously researched and scrupulously written, and it represents a considerable achievement. It should remain the standard reference on the late colonial vicissitudes of the Inca nobles and other indigenous elites in southern Peru. Its emphasis on social divergence within interlocking indigenous, and even non-indigenous, elites and local governance has significant implications for the study of politics, society, and power well beyond the colonial era. -David Cahill, University of New South Wales, American Historical ReviewTable of ContentsPart I. Indian Elites and the Colonial Order: 1. Spanish conquest and the Habsburg reforms; 2. The long seventeenth century; Part II. The Indian Nobility of Bourbon Cusco: 3. Cacical families and provincial nobilities; 4. Communal economies and Indian fortunes; 5. The politics of the Cacicazgo; Part III. Crisis and Collapse: 6. From reform to rebellion; 7. The breakdown of colonial order.

Cambridge University Press Radical Orientalism
Book SynopsisThis fascinating study explores why ideas of the East mattered to Romantic writers, including Byron and the Shelleys, as well as their readers, political reformers and working-class activists. Imagining and invoking the Muslim world helped radicals to formulate their opposition to electoral disenfranchisement, police repression, and economic exploitation in Britain.Trade Review'… this is a fascinating and rewarding study that sheds new light on established ideas about British Romanticism's engagement with the 'Orient' while pointing to further issues yet to be addressed.' Cian Duffy, Modern Philology'… Cohen-Vrignaud's rich study demonstrates that there is still much to debate and discuss, and it will provide a valuable scholarly resource.' James Watt, Review of English StudiesTable of ContentsIntroduction: radical Orientalism and the rights of man; 1. Cruel and unusual romance: Beckford, Byron, and the abomination of violence; 2. Reading the Oriental Riot Act: petition, assembly, and Shelley's constitutional sublime; 3. Splendors and miseries of the British Sultanate: economic Orientalism, inequality, and radical satire; 4. Reasoning like a Turk: indolence and fatalism in Sardanapalus and The Last Man; 5. Byronic infidelity and despotic individuality: sex, religion, and free agency; Bibliography.
