| Zusammenfassung: | This book brings together original research by eleven distinguished historians who explore the cultural factors that helped to build and sustain a British world-system between the eighteenth and twentieth centuries. Taking an expansive view of culture, the book considers such ranging topics as images of nakedness, transnational networks, literary criticism, travel narratives, humanitarianism, legal cultures, anti-slavery, visions of capitalism, and household possessions. Collectively, these chapters demonstrate that the British world’s flourishing depended upon far more than such material factors as military power, demographics and economics. Central to this argument is a focus on the diverse roles that colonised peoples and colonial societies played in the fashioning of a cultural British world. The book investigates a wide geographical range, including both the formal Empire and areas of British informal influence, with chapters on India, Canton, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Sierra Leone, the Ottoman Empire and the West Indies. In doing so, it argues for a cultural British world transcending the settler colonies that have been the focus of much recent scholarship. Significantly, the book places such activity within a wider imperial framework, emphasising the interaction between contemporaneous empires in a way that repositions the history of the British world in a broader global context. The cultural construction of the British world will be crucial reading for scholars of the British Empire, globalisation and transnationalism |

Material culture and Sierra Leone’s civilising mission in the nineteenth century – Bronwen Everill -- Index This book brings together original research by eleven distinguished historians who explore the cultural factors that helped to build and sustain a British world-system between the eighteenth and twentieth centuries. Taking an expansive view of culture, the book considers such ranging topics as images of nakedness, transnational networks, literary criticism, travel narratives, humanitarianism, legal cultures, anti-slavery, visions of capitalism, and household possessions. Collectively, these chapters demonstrate that the British world’s flourishing depended upon far more than such material factors as military power, demographics and economics. Central to this argument is a focus on the diverse roles that colonised peoples and colonial societies played in the fashioning of a cultural British world. The book investigates a wide geographical range, including both the formal Empire and areas of British informal influence, with chapters on India, Canton, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Sierra Leone, the Ottoman Empire and the West Indies. In doing so, it argues for a cultural British world transcending the settler colonies that have been the focus of much recent scholarship. Significantly, the book places such activity within a wider imperial framework, emphasising the interaction between contemporaneous empires in a way that repositions the history of the British world in a broader global context. The cultural construction of the British world will be crucial reading for scholars of the British Empire, globalisation and transnationalism Commonwealth (DE-588)4010437-0 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte gnd rswk-swf History / Colonialism & Imperialism / bicssc Colonialism & Imperialism / bicssc HISTORY / Europe / Great Britain / bisach HISTORY / Social History / bisach Colonialism & imperialism / European history / Social & cultural history / thema Culture / History Kultur (DE-588)4125698-0 gnd rswk-swf Kolonie (DE-588)4031790-0 gnd rswk-swf Great Britain / Civilization / 19th century Great Britain / Colonies Großbritannien (DE-588)4022153-2 gnd rswk-swf (DE-588)1071861417 Konferenzschrift 2011 Hongkong gnd-content Großbritannien (DE-588)4022153-2 g Kolonie (DE-588)4031790-0 s Commonwealth (DE-588)4010437-0 b Kultur (DE-588)4125698-0 s Geschichte z DE-604 Crosbie, Barry (DE-588)1019441208 edt Hampton, Mark 1970- (DE-588)132811006 edt Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Hardcover 978-0-7190-9789-8 The cultural construction of the British world Manchester : Manchester University Press, 2016 (DE-604)BV043192222 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Paperback The cultural construction of the British world Manchester : Manchester University Press, 2018 978-1-5261-2713-6 https://doi.org/10.7765/9781784996918 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
