Bosnian Muslims, East African Masai, Czech-speaking Austrians,
North American indigenous peoples, and Jewish immigrants from
across Europe—the nineteenth-century British and Habsburg Empires
were characterized by incredible cultural and racial-ethnic
diversity. Notwithstanding their many differences, both empires
faced similar administrative questions as a result: Who was
excluded or admitted? What advantages were granted to which groups?
And how could diversity be reconciled with demands for national
autonomy and democratic participation? In this pioneering study,
Benno Gammerl compares Habsburg and British approaches to governing
their diverse populations, analyzing imperial formations to reveal
the legal and political conditions that fostered heterogeneity.
