Biographical research can illuminate imperial and colonial history.
This is particularly true of Africa, where empires competed with
one another and colonial society was characterised by rigid
divisions. In this book, five biographical studies explore how, in
the course of their lives, interpreters, landowners, students and
traders navigated the boundaries between the various spaces of the
colonial world. With a focus on African life worlds, the authors
show the disruptions and constraints as well as the new options and
forms of mobility that resulted from colonial rule. This book was
originally published as a special issue of The Journal of Imperial
and Commonwealth Studies.
