Empire On-Line Section V: Race, Class & Colonialism, c1783-1969
On-Line access to over 10,000 images of original documents with
introductory essays and indexing This new online project aims to
bring together 60,000 images of original documents, both manuscript
and printed materials, sourced from approximately twenty different
libraries and archives around the world, including a strong core
of document images from the British Library and from the Oriental
and India Office Collections at the British Library.
Each section will have two or three thematic
essays by leading scholars in the field of Empire Studies. The essays
will relate directly to the source material covered by the online
publication with approximately fifty hypertext links per essay to
documentary evidence. The project offers good quality, meaningful
content that academics can readily integrate into their courses.
The thematic essays introduce students to the material, suggest
possible approaches, and place the documents within a broad historical,
literary and cultural context.
The keyword search facility allows users
to search by document title, topic, name of individual, organisation
or date. All source material in this project is well indexed in
this manner.
Section V focuses on Race, Class and Colonialism
as important concepts in the study of Empire. How were imperial
attitudes governed by assumptions about race, class, gender, and
sexuality? Why were white settler territories the first to be granted
independence? How did the colour question inhibit the expansion
of empire? How did views in the Colonies differ from those at Home
and how did attitudes towards race fuel nationalism? How did perceptions
of 'the metropole' and 'the colony' alter over time? These records
look at different views on colonialism and national identity. When
did the inhabitants of empire first aspire to independence and self
government and cease to think in terms of 'coloniser' and 'colonised'?
Were many populations highly independent from the outset, or was
change gradual over time, or is the picture far more complex, and
varied from region to region?
