Understanding the British Empire draws on a lifetime's research and
reflection on the history of the British Empire by one of the
senior figures in the field. Essays cover six key themes: the
geopolitical and economic dynamics of empire, religion and ethics,
imperial bureaucracy, the contribution of political leaders, the
significance of sexuality, and the shaping of imperial
historiography. A major new introductory chapter draws together the
wider framework of Dr Hyam's studies and several new chapters focus
on lesser known figures. Other chapters are revised versions of
earlier papers, reflecting some of the debates and controversies
raised by the author's work, including the issue of sexual
exploitation, the European intrusion into Africa, including the
African response to missionaries, trusteeship, and Winston
Churchill's imperial attitudes. Combining traditional archival
research with newer forms of cultural exploration, this is an
unusually wide-ranging approach to key aspects of empire.
