Mistress of everything [EPUB ebook] 
Queen Victoria in Indigenous worlds

Support

Mistress of everything examines how indigenous people across Britain’s settler colonies engaged with Queen Victoria in their lives and predicaments, incorporated her into their political repertoires, and implicated her as they sought redress for the effects of imperial expansion during her long reign. It draws together empirically rich studies from Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Southern Africa, to provide scope for comparative and transnational analysis.
The book includes chapters on a Maori visit to Queen Victoria in 1863, meetings between African leaders and the Queen’s son Prince Alfred in 1860, gift-giving in the Queen’s name on colonial frontiers in Canada and Australia, and Maori women’s references to Queen Victoria in support of their own chiefly status and rights. The collection offers an innovative approach to interpreting and including indigenous perspectives within broader histories of British imperialism and settler colonialism.
