How does empire operate in frontiers and borderlands during times
of conflict? Empire on Edge reveals how British officials
attempted, during the second half of the nineteenth century, to
understand and impose order on northern Belize, an area that was
both a frontier of colonial power and the locus of a disputed
border with Mexico. Their efforts were complicated by the local
ramifications of Yucatan's Caste War (1847-1901), a long-lasting,
violent struggle between segments of the indigenous Maya in
southeast Mexico and the Mexican state. The book also illuminates
how people who were subject to these efforts, especially the
Hispanic and various Maya groups, sought to thwart them by building
alliances across seemingly firm lines of racial and ethnic
division. Along the way, important questions are raised about the
dissonance between colonial and imperial projects, the nature of
frontiers and borderlands, and the local effects of disputes
between bordering countries.
