This is the first in-depth and comparative study of the experience
of colonial encounters for troops from the British Empire during
the First World War. Drawing on a rich variety of textual and
visual material, Anna Maguire explores new contact zones that
materialised beyond the battlefield, on troopships, in ports, in
military camps and hospitals, in cafes and city streets. She
reveals how the colonial mobilisation of troops during the conflict
prompted the emergence of spaces for interactions, fleeting moments
or ongoing relationships. Through their personal experiences, she
uncovers how men from New Zealand, South Africa and the West Indies
viewed themselves and their identities during a time of global
conflict, simultaneously asserting the strength of the existing
colonial order and challenging its enactment, through contact,
conflict and collaboration. In spaces away from the frontlines,
Maguire uses these cultural encounters of colonial troops to offer
a more intricate understanding of imperial power relations.
