Examining diversity as a fundamental reality of empire, this book
explores European colonial empires, both terrestrial and maritime,
to show how they addressed the questions of how to manage
diversity. These questions range from the local to the
supra-regional, and from the management of people to that of
political and judicial systems. Taking an intersectional approach
incorporating categories such as race, religion, subjecthood and
social and legal status, the contributions of the volume show how
old and new modes of creating social difference took shape in an
increasingly early modern globalized world, and what contemporary
legacies these 'diversity formations' left behind. This volume show
diversity and imperial projects to be both contentious and mutually
constitutive: one the one hand, the conditions of empire created
divisions between people through official categorizations (such as
racial classifications and designations of subjecthood) and through
discriminately applied extractive policies, from taxation to
slavery. On the other hand, imperial subjects, communities, and
polities within and adjacent to empire asserted themselves through
a diverse range of affiliations and identities that challenged any
notion of a unilateral, universal imperial authority. This book
highlights the multidimensionality and interconnectedness of
diversity in imperial settings and will be useful reading to
students and scholars of the history of colonial Empires, global
history, and race.
