The British Empire covered three centuries, five continents and
one-quarter of the world's population. Its legacy continues,
shaping the societies and welfare policies of much of the modern
world. In this book, for the first time, this legacy is explored
and analyzed. Colonialism and Welfare reveals that social welfare
policies, often discriminatory, and challenging to those colonized
were introduced and imposed by the 'mother country.' It highlights
that there was great diversity in rationales and impacts across the
empire, but past developments had a major impact on the development
of much of the world's population. Contributions from every
continent explore both the diversity and the common themes in the
imperial experience. They examine the legacy of colonial welfare -
a subject largely neglected by both historians of empire and social
policy analysts. This original book shows that social welfare today
cannot be understood without understanding the legacy of the
British Empire. Academics, specialized students with an interest in
comparative social policy, history of social policy, imperial
history, colonialism, and contemporary third world social policy
will find this book invaluable to their studies. Contributors
include: J. Harrison, N. Jayaram, E. Kaseke, R. Kattumuri, J.
Lewis, J. Midgley, L. Patel, D. Piachaud, P. Smyth, K.-l. Tang
