With sources from Britain, the Caribbean, Africa and Asia, this book examines the political, social and cultural impact of these forces; how they fortified British 'prestige' against rival imperialisms and colonial nationalisms; the importance of 'men on the spot', collaboration, 'naval theatre', and propaganda in mobilising colonial navalism; the role of naval training within the 'civilising mission' and colonial development; and how racial theory influenced naval recruitment, strategy and management, affecting imperial sentiment, ethnic relations, colonial identities, customs and order. This book will appeal to imperial, maritime and regional historians, by broadening our understanding of navies as social and cultural institution\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Not since the days when Herbert Richmond occupied Cambridge University's Vere Harmsworth chair in imperial and naval history has the interconnections between the two fields been so studiously regarded by a newer generation of historians comfortable in the historiography of both genres.'\u003cbr\u003eChris Madsen, North Vancouver, British Columbia, The Northern Mariner, April 2016\u003c\/p\u003e -- .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: The origins of colonial naval development\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart I: The Caribbean \u003cbr\u003eTrinidad\u003cbr\u003eThe Cayman Islands\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart II: East Africa\u003cbr\u003eKenya and Zanzibar, pre-1945\u003cbr\u003ePost-war East Africa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart III: Southeast Asia\u003cbr\u003eThe Straits Settlements and Malaya\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart IV: East Asia\u003cbr\u003eHong Kong, pre-1945\u003cbr\u003ePost-war Hong Kong\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConclusion\u003cbr\u003eBibliography \u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51037348823383,"sku":"9780719091773","price":76.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780719091773.jpg?v=1750935392","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/colonial-naval-culture-and-british-imperialism-192267-9780719091773","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
