British Worlds, Settler Worlds, World Systems, and Killing Fields

Click to increase image sizeClick to decrease image size Notes Martin, ‘Was there a British Empire?’, 565. Fieldhouse, ‘Can Humpty-Dumpty’. Buckner, ‘Was There a “British” Empire?, 111–12. On this last point, it will be seen that Buckner was suggesting a trend in quite the opposite direction to that then being urged by many exponents of a ‘new imperial history’. Ibid., 124–25. Martin, ‘Definition and Subjectivity’ and Past Futures, esp. 60–64. It remains striking how some students of the subject still feel it necessary either to affirm or to protest against the strongly negative evaluations of empire supposedly inherent in such shifts. For recent protest, see, for instance, Darwin Unfinished Empire, 3–6. See, for instance, Cooper, Colonialism in Question; Woollacott, ‘Making Empire Visible’ A claim made repeatedly in Windschuttle's work, but see especially his Fabrication. Dubow, ‘How British’, 2. Ibid. 3. Chamberlain, Empire and Nation-Building; Killingray, ‘Good West Indian’; Newton, Children of Africa; Rush, Bonds of Empire. MacKenzie, ‘Irish, Scottish, Welsh and English Worlds?’, 134, 146. See Conrad and Osterhammel, Kaiserreich transnational, Conrad, Globalisation and ‘Rethinking German Colonialism’ Belich, Replenishing, 5 Cain, ‘Economics and Ideologies’. In his response Belich pleaded partly guilty to this. ‘Cultural History’, 116. Belich, Replenishing, 145. Ibid., 197 Among the fairly numerous recent works exploring these processes and arguments for the various settler colonies, Curran and Ward, Unknown Nation, is a particularly acute investigation of the Australian case. For a much earlier process, in the USA, with some intriguing parallels, see Yokota, Unbecoming British. Belich, Replenishing, 554. Makdisi, ‘Riding the Whirlwind’. Belich, New Zealand Wars. Belich, ‘Cultural History’, 119. Replenishing, 163 Wahrman, ‘Meaning’, 99. As is suggested, for instance, by Porter, ‘Anglo-world’. Replenishing, 221. Darwin, After Tamerlane. It is also no mean achievement that there is so very little direct repetition, either as between Empire Project and Unfinished Empire or in relation to those earlier works. Empire Project, 649. Ibid., 477. Unfinished, 389. Empire Project, 18. He continues to pay repeated tribute to the importance and influence of Gallagher's and Robinson's work, e.g. in Unfinished, 11. Magee and Thompson, Empire and Globalisation, 26. Thompson, ‘Response’. Dilley, Finance, Politics, and Imperialism, 5. Berman, ‘Ethnicity’, 305. Empire and Globalisation, 1–21. There have also been a few interesting recent attempts to explore such relationships from the ‘other side’, i.e. literary scholars focusing on economics: for instance, Dale and Gilbert Economies of Representation. See inter alia Bonnett, ‘How the British Working Class’; Hyslop, ‘Imperial Working Class’ and ‘World Voyage’. Veracini, ‘Settler Colonialism: Career of a Concept’. Among several relevant articles, see especially Wolfe, ‘Settler Colonialism and Elimination of the Native’; also Morgensen, ‘Biopolitics’; Moses, ‘Antipodean Genocide’. Bateman and Pilkington, Studies in Settler Colonialism; Mar and Edmonds, Making Settler Colonial Space. Bateman and Pilkington, ‘Introduction’, in Studies, 1. Elkins, Britain's Gulag. For overviews, see, for instance, Moses, Empire, Colony, Genocide, and the thought-provoking if contentious Shaw, ‘Britain and Genocide’. Drayton, ‘Where Does the World Historian Write From?’, 684; Bayly, ‘Moral Judgment’. Drayton, ‘World Historian’, 675. Darwin Unfinished, 6. Doyle, Through the Magic Door, 80. Bayly ‘Moral Judgment’, 385. Kenny, Peaceable Kingdom Lost. On the former, see Feldman, ‘Jews and the British Empire’; Green, ‘British Empire and the Jews’; on the latter, Fozdar, ‘Imperial Brothers’; Harland-Jacobs, Builders of Empire.

McCarthy, Global Clan and Scottishness and Irishness. Plank. Rebellion and Savagery; Spiers, Scottish Soldier; Allan and Carswell, Thin Red Line; Mackillop and Murdoch, Military Governors. Imperial Endgame, 377. Ibid., 324–38. Ibid., 1. Ibid., 2. Ibid., 3. Leeson, Black and Tans. See also Sinclair, End of the Line. Satia, Spies, 279. Ibid., 278. Onley, ‘Critical Response’.

Other relevant recent studies of the EIC include Bowen, Business, Robins, Corporation, and Webster, Twilight—which lies very much in the footsteps of Cain and Hopkins, but argues that relations between economic actors were more complex than they suggest: in particular there was less antagonism, more overlap and collaboration between ‘provincials’ and ‘City/empire gents’ than in their view. The campaign to end the EIC's monopolies exemplifies this collaboration. Wilson, ‘Early Colonial India’, 953. Nechtman, Nabobs, 21. Ibid., 227.
