The impact of empires and the lingering presence of colonialism
continue to be major preoccupations for scholars in the
twenty-first century. This concise text explores the spread of
settler colonies within the British Empire over the course of the
nineteenth century, specifically those in New Zealand, Canada,
South Africa, and Australia. In Building Better Britains?, Cecilia
Morgan examines how imperial powers reshaped the lives and
landscapes of millions through colonial relationships with
Indigenous peoples, and the processes of migration and settlement
that facilitated the British Empire's global expansion. Identity
and culture in geographically diverse settler societies are
compared, highlighting shared histories and the nuances that
differentiated them. Morgan encourages readers to consider settler
societies from multiple perspectives, including those of the
colonists themselves. Eight maps and eight illustrations enhance
the text, along with a bibliography and index.
