What were the cultural factors that held the British world
together? How was Britishness understood at home, in the Empire,
and in areas of informal British influence? This book makes the
case for a 'cultural British world', and examines how it took shape
in a wide range of locations, ranging from India to Jamaica, from
Sierra Leone to Australia, and from south China to New Zealand.
Eleven original essays explore a wide range of topics, including
images of nakedness, humanitarianism, anti-slavery, literary
criticism, travel narratives, and household possessions. The book
argues that the debates around these issues, as well as the
consumer culture associated with them, helped give the British
world a sense of cohesion and identity. The cultural construction
of the British world will be essential reading for historians of
imperialism and globalisation, and includes contributions from some
of the most prominent historians of British imperial and cultural
history. -- .
