A study of the lived history of nineteenth-century British
imperialism through the lives of one extended family in North
America, the Caribbean and the United Kingdom. The prominent
colonial governor James Douglas was born in 1803 in what is now
Guyana, probably to a free woman of colour and an itinerant
Scottish father. In the North American fur trade, he married Amelia
Connolly, the daughter of a Cree mother and an Irish-Canadian
father. Adele Perry traces their family and friends over the course
of the 'long' nineteenth-century, using careful archival research
to offer an analysis of the imperial world that is at once intimate
and critical, wide-ranging and sharply focused. Perry engages
feminist scholarship on gender and intimacy, critical analyses
about colonial archives, transnational and postcolonial history and
the 'new imperial history' to suggest how this period might be
rethought through one powerful family located at the British
Empire's margins.
