List of publications for:
2009 | 2008 | 2007 | 2006



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?
