This history of British colonial rule in Nyasaland (now Malawi) from 1891 up to the outbreak of the Second World War is based on extensive research in government archives, newspapers and missionary letters, as well as information derived from a wide variety of secondary sources. It briefly tracks how the territory came under British rule and then focuses on the colonial Administration’s record, set in the broader context of Whitehall policy as well as Nyasaland’s relationship with neighbouring territories. The activities of the local European community are closely analysed for their political, economic and social influence. The Indian community’s position as an essential commercial element is also included. Crucially, this history examines the impact of colonialism on the African population, from the initial Pax Britannica through the shock of the First World War and to the introduction of Indirect Rule. The book also contains a dictionary of short biographies on many of the personalities of this era and the endnotes include much detailed additional information.
