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.
These eleven original essays explore a wide range of topics,
including images of nakedness, humanitarianism, anti-slavery,
literary criticism, travel narratives, legal cultures, visions of
capitalism, 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. This book 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. -- .
