Zusammenfassung: | This study assesses the significance of the hunting cult as a major element of the imperial experience in Africa and Asia. Through a study of the game laws and the beginnings of conservation in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the author demonstrates the racial inequalities which existed between Europeans and indigenous hunters. Africans were denied access to game, and the development of game reserves and national parks accelerated this process. Indigenous hunters in Africa and India were turned into poachers and only Europeans were permitted to hunt. In India, the hunting of animals became the chief recreation of military officers and civilian officials, a source of display and a symbolic dominance of the environment. Imperial hunting fed the natural history craze of the day and many hunters collected trophies and specimens for private and public collections as well as contributing to hunting literature. John MacKenzie also connects hunting and game conservation to concepts of masculinity, attitudes towards diet, and the development of western tourism |

Through a study of the game laws and the beginnings of conservation in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the author demonstrates the racial inequalities which existed between Europeans and indigenous hunters. Africans were denied access to game, and the development of game reserves and national parks accelerated this process. Indigenous hunters in Africa and India were turned into poachers and only Europeans were permitted to hunt. In India, the hunting of animals became the chief recreation of military officers and civilian officials, a source of display and a symbolic dominance of the environment. Imperial hunting fed the natural history craze of the day and many hunters collected trophies and specimens for private and public collections as well as contributing to hunting literature. John MacKenzie also connects hunting and game conservation to concepts of masculinity, attitudes towards diet, and the development of western tourism Hunting Or Shooting Animals & Game / bicssc Colonialism & Imperialism / bicssc National Liberation & Independence, Post-Colonialism / bicssc NATURE / Environmental Conservation & Protection / bisach HISTORY / Africa / General / bicssc HISTORY / Asia / General / bicssc Conservation of wildlife & habitats / Colonialism & imperialism / National liberation & independence, post-colonialism / thema Hunting / History Hunting / Great Britain / History Imperialismus (DE-588)4026651-5 gnd rswk-swf Kolonialverwaltung (DE-588)4164715-4 gnd rswk-swf Jagd (DE-588)4027955-8 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte (DE-588)4020517-4 gnd rswk-swf Great Britain / Colonies / Africa / History Great Britain / Colonies / Asia / History Afrika (DE-588)4000695-5 gnd rswk-swf Asien (DE-588)4003217-6 gnd rswk-swf Großbritannien (DE-588)4022153-2 gnd rswk-swf Großbritannien (DE-588)4022153-2 g Jagd (DE-588)4027955-8 s Kolonialverwaltung (DE-588)4164715-4 s Afrika (DE-588)4000695-5 g Geschichte (DE-588)4020517-4 s DE-604 Asien (DE-588)4003217-6 g Imperialismus (DE-588)4026651-5 s Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Hardcover MacKenzie, John M.
