Mistress of everything examines how indigenous people across
Britain's settler colonies engaged with Queen Victoria in their
lives and predicaments, incorporated her into their political
repertoires, and implicated her as they sought redress for the
effects of imperial expansion during her long reign. It draws
together empirically rich studies from Canada, Australia, New
Zealand and Southern Africa, to provide scope for comparative and
transnational analysis. The book includes chapters on a Maori visit
to Queen Victoria in 1863, meetings between African leaders and the
Queen's son Prince Alfred in 1860, gift-giving in the Queen's name
on colonial frontiers in Canada and Australia, and Maori women's
references to Queen Victoria in support of their own chiefly status
and rights. The collection offers an innovative approach to
interpreting and including indigenous perspectives within broader
histories of British imperialism and settler colonialism. -- .
