It reveals how British colonialism in the Eastern Cape region was informed by, and itself informed, imperial ideas and activities elsewhere, both in Britain and in other colonies.It examines:* the origins and development of the three interacting discourses of colonialism – official, humanitarian and settler* the contests, compromises and interplay between these discourses and their proponents* the analysis of these discourses in the light of a global humanitarian movement in the aftermath of the antislavery campaign* the eventual colonisation of the Eastern cape and the construction of colonial settler identities.For any student or resarcher of this major aspect of history, this will be a staple part of their reading diet.
