        The harem, slavery and British imperial culture

        Anglo-Muslim relations in the late nineteenth century

        by Diane Robinson-Dunn

        This book focuses on British efforts to suppress the traffic in female slaves destined for Egyptian harems during the late-nineteenth century. It considers this campaign in relation to gender debates in England, and examines the ways in which the assumptions and dominant imperialist discourses of these abolitionists were challenged by the newly-established Muslim communities in England, as well as by English people who converted to or were sympathetic with Islam. While previous scholars have treated antislavery activity in Egypt first and foremost as an extension of earlier efforts to abolish plantation slavery in the New World, this book considers it in terms of encounters with Islam during a period which it argues marked a new departure in Anglo-Muslim relations. This approach illuminates the role of Islam in the creation of English national identities within the global cultural system of the British Empire. This book would appeal to those with an interest in British imperial history; Islam; gender, feminism, and women's studies; slavery and race; the formation of national identities; global processes; Orientalism; and Middle Eastern studies.

        Selbst

        by Thomas Meinecke

        Eine WG in Frankfurt am Main: Eva (Mode-Redakteurin, Kunsthistorikerin, »Prinzessin«), Genoveva (autodidaktische Sexualwissenschaftlerin, Forschungsschwerpunkte: Autogynophilie und Selfie Culture) und Venus (androgynes Model, Kulturwissenschaftlerin, Forschungsschwerpunkt: die Kolonien deutscher Vormärz-Auswanderer in Texas, insbesondere die Geschichte der nach Bettina von Arnim benannten libertären Kommune am Llano River). Sie schießen Modestrecken auf der Baustelle der EZB, werden Zeuge der polizeilichen Erstürmung des Instituts für Vergleichende Irrelevanz, gehen tanzen im »Robert Johnson« und suchen nach Zärtlichkeit jenseits einer von Freud, Foucault oder Butler als Gefängnis geschilderten Sexualität. Sie sind die Hauptfiguren in einem mal platonischen, mal erotischen Postgender-Liebesreigen, inszeniert von Thomas Meinecke, feministischer Autor, Anhänger weiblichen Schreibens und Schriftsteller-Darsteller im eigenen Roman. »Studieren wir also: die feinen Verästelungen, die sich zwischen Subkultur und Höhenkammartistik, kanonisierter Geschichte und historischer Kolportage ergeben.« Daniel Haas, FAZ

        Wales and the British overseas empire

        Interactions and influences, 1650–1830

        by H.V. Bowen

        This unique collection of essays is the first book to explore the many relationships that developed between Wales and the British overseas empire between 1650 and 1830. Written by leading specialists in the field, the essays explore economic, social, cultural, political, and religious interactions between Wales and the empire. The geographical coverage is very broad, with examinations of the contributions made by Wales to expansion in the Atlantic world, Caribbean, and South Asia. The book explores Welsh influences on the emergence of 'British' imperialism, as well as the impact that the empire had upon the development of Wales itself. The book will be of interest to academic historians, postgraduate students, and undergraduates. It will be indispensable to those interested in the history of Wales, Britain, and the empire, as well as those who wish to compare Welsh imperial experiences with those of the English, Irish, and Scots.

        British culture and the end of empire

        by Stuart Ward

        This book is the first major attempt to examine the cultural manifestations of the demise of imperialism as a social and political ideology in post-war Britain. Far from being a matter of indifference or resigned acceptance as is often suggested, the fall of the British Empire came as a profound shock to the British national imagination, and resonated widely in British popular culture. The sheer range of subjects discussed, from the satire boom of the 1960s to the worlds of sport and the arts, demonstrates how profoundly decolonisation was absorbed into the popular consciousness. Offers an extremely novel and provocative interpretation of post-war British cultural history, and opens up a whole new field of enquiry in the history of decolonisation.
