Mobility was central to imperialism, from the human movements
entailed in exploration, travel and migration to the information,
communications and commodity flows vital to trade, science,
governance and military power. While historians have written on
exploration, commerce, imperial transport and communications
networks, and the movements of slaves, soldiers and scientists, few
have reflected upon the social, cultural, economic and political
significance of mobile practices, subjects and infrastructures that
underpin imperial networks, or examined the qualities of movement
valued by imperial powers and agents at different times. This
collection explores the intersection of debates on imperial
relations, colonialism and empire with emerging work on mobility.
In doing this, it traces how the movements of people,
representations and commodities helped to constitute the British
empire from the late-eighteenth century through to the Second World
War. -- .
