Banished potentates: dethroning and exiling indigenous monarchs under British and French colonial rule, 1815-1955
"The deposition and exile of native monarchs was a key strategy in British and French efforts to secure control over their possessions in Asia and Africa. Taken as prisoners of war, implicated in rebellions or charged with misgovernment or immorality, indigenous rulers were dethroned and their...

| Zusammenfassung: | "The deposition and exile of native monarchs was a key strategy in British and French efforts to secure control over their possessions in Asia and Africa. Taken as prisoners of war, implicated in rebellions or charged with misgovernment or immorality, indigenous rulers were dethroned and their dynasties sometimes abolished. They were then banished to distant places, in hopes they could not escape or serve as rallying-points for anti-colonial agitation. This wide-ranging study offers new insights into culture contact, indirect rule and indigenous agency in colonial situations. It examines the particular circumstances for the ouster of Asian and African emperors, kings and queens, maharajas and sultans. It looks at the often poignant lived experiences of the deposed rulers and their families in exile, assessing their later place in historical narrative and collective memory. Finally, it argues that even when colonisers 'kicked out' local sovereigns, they could not fully efface the potency of monarchism in national identity, anti-colonial campaigns and the heritage exiles left behind. Case studies range from the removal of the King of Kandy in Ceylon in 1815 - toppled and exiled just months after Napoleon was sent to St Helena - to the removal and restoration of King Mutesa of Uganda and Sultan Mohammed of Morocco in the 1950s. Appealing to specialists of colonial history, transnational history and the history of modern monarchy, <i>Banished potentates</i> provides a fascinating account of the exercise of imperial power, the paradoxes of royal exile and the legacies of indigenous dynasties" --Back cover Though the overthrow and exile of Napoleon in 1815 is a familiar episode in modern history, it is not well known that just a few months later, British colonisers toppled and banished the last king in Ceylon. Beginning with that case, this volume examines the deposition and exile of indigenous monarchs by the British and French - with examples in India, Burma, Malaysia, Vietnam, Madagascar, Tunisia and Morocco - from the early nineteenth century down to the eve of decolonisation. It argues that removal of native sovereigns, and sometimes abolition of dynasties, provided a powerful strategy used by colonisers, though European overlords were seldom capable of quelling resistance in the conquered countries, or of effacing the memory of local monarchies and the legacies they left behind |

From conquest to decolonisation: exile from French North Africa --Conclusion --Bibliography --Index "The deposition and exile of native monarchs was a key strategy in British and French efforts to secure control over their possessions in Asia and Africa. Taken as prisoners of war, implicated in rebellions or charged with misgovernment or immorality, indigenous rulers were dethroned and their dynasties sometimes abolished. They were then banished to distant places, in hopes they could not escape or serve as rallying-points for anti-colonial agitation. This wide-ranging study offers new insights into culture contact, indirect rule and indigenous agency in colonial situations. It examines the particular circumstances for the ouster of Asian and African emperors, kings and queens, maharajas and sultans. It looks at the often poignant lived experiences of the deposed rulers and their families in exile, assessing their later place in historical narrative and collective memory. Finally, it argues that even when colonisers 'kicked out' local sovereigns, they could not fully efface the potency of monarchism in national identity, anti-colonial campaigns and the heritage exiles left behind. Case studies range from the removal of the King of Kandy in Ceylon in 1815 - toppled and exiled just months after Napoleon was sent to St Helena - to the removal and restoration of King Mutesa of Uganda and Sultan Mohammed of Morocco in the 1950s. Appealing to specialists of colonial history, transnational history and the history of modern monarchy, <i>Banished potentates</i> provides a fascinating account of the exercise of imperial power, the paradoxes of royal exile and the legacies of indigenous dynasties" --Back cover Though the overthrow and exile of Napoleon in 1815 is a familiar episode in modern history, it is not well known that just a few months later, British colonisers toppled and banished the last king in Ceylon. Beginning with that case, this volume examines the deposition and exile of indigenous monarchs by the British and French - with examples in India, Burma, Malaysia, Vietnam, Madagascar, Tunisia and Morocco - from the early nineteenth century down to the eve of decolonisation. It argues that removal of native sovereigns, and sometimes abolition of dynasties, provided a powerful strategy used by colonisers, though European overlords were seldom capable of quelling resistance in the conquered countries, or of effacing the memory of local monarchies and the legacies they left behind Geschichte 1815-1955 gnd rswk-swf Colonialism and imperialism / bicssc Humanities / History / bicssc HISTORY / Civilization / bisach Colonialism & imperialism / History: specific events and topics / History / thema Imperialism / History / 19th century Imperialism / History / 20th century Kings and rulers / Deposition Exile (Punishment) Indigenous peoples / Politics and government Absetzung (DE-588)4141107-9 gnd rswk-swf Kolonie (DE-588)4031790-0 gnd rswk-swf Herrscher (DE-588)4024600-0 gnd rswk-swf Great Britain / Colonies / History France / Colonies / History Great Britain / Colonies / Administration France / Colonies / Administration Frankreich (DE-588)4018145-5 gnd rswk-swf Großbritannien (DE-588)4022153-2 gnd rswk-swf Großbritannien (DE-588)4022153-2 g Frankreich (DE-588)4018145-5 g Kolonie (DE-588)4031790-0 s Herrscher (DE-588)4024600-0 s Absetzung (DE-588)4141107-9 s Geschichte 1815-1955 z DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Hardcover 978-0-7190-9973-1 (DE-604)BV044868555 https://doi.org/10.7765/9781526113429 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
