Zusammenfassung: | "Analysing three cases of British colonial violence that occurred in the latter half of the 19th century, this book argues that all three share commonalities, including the role of racial prejudices in justifying the perpetration of extreme colonial violence. Exploring the connections and comparisons between the Perak War (1875-76), the 'Hut Tax' Revolt in Sierra Leone (1898-99) and the Anglo-Egyptian War of Reconquest in the Sudan (1896-99), Gordon highlights the significance of decision-making processes, communication between London and the periphery and the influence of individual colonial administrators in outbreaks of violence. This study reveals the ways in which racial prejudices, the advocacy of a British 'civilising mission' and British racial 'superiority' informed colonial administrators' decisions on the ground, as well as the rationalisation of extreme violence. Responding to a neglect of British colonial atrocities within the historiography of colonial violence, this work demonstrates the ways in which Britain was just as willing and able as other European Empires to resort to extreme measures in the face of indigenous resistance or threats to the British imperial project"-- |

Exploring the connections and comparisons between the Perak War (1875-76), the 'Hut Tax' Revolt in Sierra Leone (1898-99) and the Anglo-Egyptian War of Reconquest in the Sudan (1896-99), Gordon highlights the significance of decision-making processes, communication between London and the periphery and the influence of individual colonial administrators in outbreaks of violence. This study reveals the ways in which racial prejudices, the advocacy of a British 'civilising mission' and British racial 'superiority' informed colonial administrators' decisions on the ground, as well as the rationalisation of extreme violence. Responding to a neglect of British colonial atrocities within the historiography of colonial violence, this work demonstrates the ways in which Britain was just as willing and able as other European Empires to resort to extreme measures in the face of indigenous resistance or threats to the British imperial project"-- Geschichte 1875-1899 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte gnd rswk-swf Kolonialismus (DE-588)4073624-6 gnd rswk-swf Kriegführung (DE-588)4073817-6 gnd rswk-swf Kolonie (DE-588)4031790-0 gnd rswk-swf Sierra Leone (DE-588)4054908-2 gnd rswk-swf Großbritannien (DE-588)4022153-2 gnd rswk-swf Perak (DE-588)4304095-0 gnd rswk-swf Sudan (DE-588)4058378-8 gnd rswk-swf Great Britain / History, Military / 19th century Violence / Great Britain / Colonies / History / 19th century Great Britain / Colonies / History / 19th century Imperialism / Social aspects / Great Britain / Colonies / History / 19th century Perak War, Malaya, 1875-1876 Sudan / History / Conquest, 1896-1899 Hut Tax War, Sierra Leone, 1898 British / Sudan British / Sierra Leone British / Malaysia / Perak British British colonies Great Britain Malaysia / Perak Sierra Leone Sudan 1800-1899 History Military history (DE-588)4113937-9 Hochschulschrift gnd-content Großbritannien (DE-588)4022153-2 g Kolonie (DE-588)4031790-0 s Kriegführung (DE-588)4073817-6 s Geschichte 1875-1899 z DE-604 Perak (DE-588)4304095-0 g Sierra Leone (DE-588)4054908-2 g Sudan (DE-588)4058378-8 g Kolonialismus (DE-588)4073624-6 s Geschichte z Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe, PDF 978-1-3501-5689-0 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe 978-1-3501-5690-6 Digitalisierung UB Augsburg - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=032434711&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis Digitalisierung UB Augsburg - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=032434711&sequence=000003&line_number=0002&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Klappentext |
