By exploring the dimensions of race, race relations and resistance,
this book offers a new account of the British Empire's greatest
failure and its most disturbing legacy. Using a wide range of
published and archival sources, this study of racial discourse from
1870 to 1914 argues that race, then as now, was a contested
territory within the metropolitan culture. Based on a wide range of
published and archival sources, this book uncovers the conflicting
opinions that characterised late Victorian and Edwardian discourse
on the 'colour question'. It offers a revisionist account of race
in science, and provides original studies of the invention of the
language of race relations and of resistance to race-thinking led
by radical abolitionists and persons of Asian and African descent
living in the United Kingdom. The book will be of interest to
students and scholars of race, colonialism and culture, and to a
readership interested in the history of science and race,
anti-slavery and humanitarian movements, and the roots of
anti-racist resistance. -- .
