Focusing on the great population movement of British emigrants
before 1914, this book provides a perspective on the relationship
between empire and globalisation. It shows how distinct structures
of economic opportunity developed around the people who settled
across a wider British World through the co-ethnic networks they
created. Yet these networks could also limit and distort economic
growth. The powerful appeal of ethnic identification often made
trade and investment with racial 'outsiders' less appealing,
thereby skewing economic activities toward communities perceived to
be 'British'. By highlighting the importance of these networks to
migration, finance and trade, this book contributes to debates
about globalisation in the past and present. It reveals how the
networks upon which the era of modern globalisation was built
quickly turned in on themselves after 1918, converting racial,
ethnic and class tensions into protectionism, nationalism and
xenophobia. Avoiding such an outcome is a challenge faced today.
