This collection of essays collects the leading scholars on British
colonial thought in Southeast Asia to consider the question: what
was the relationship between liberalism and the British Empire in
Southeast Asia? The empire builders in Southeast Asia: Lord Minto,
William Farquhar, John Leyden, Thomas Stamford Raffles, and John
Crawfurd - to name a few - were fervent believers in a liberal free
trade order in Southeast Asia. Many recent studies of British
imperialism, and European imperialism more generally, have
addressed how the anti-imperialist tradition of Eighteenth century
liberalism was increasingly intertwined with the discourses of
empire, freedom, race and economics in the nineteenth century. This
collection extends those studies to look at the impact of
liberalism on. British colonialism in Southeast Asia and early
nineteenth century Southeast Asia we see some of the first attempts
at developing multicultural democracies within the colonies,
experiments in free trade and attempts to use free trade to prevent
war and colonisation.
This book book considers how these issues relate to collections of
Indigenous skeletal remains, but also their resonance with emerging
concerns about the relatively unknown history of scientific
interest in Indigenous hair and blood samples. also explores the
more recent practice of sampling for the purposes of DNA analysis,
and issues concerning the data that has been produced from all of
the above types of research. enables discourses of identity and
scientific authority, an assessment their efficacy, and an
exploration of ethical and practical challenges and opportunities
by placing recent interest in applying scientific techniques to
repatriation in their historical context. this book reveals new
histories about scientific interest in Indigenous biology and the
collections that resulted, as well as providing reflection for all
repatriation practitioners considering scientific investigation
when faced with the challenges inherent in the repatriation of
unprovenanced or poorly provenanced Ancestral Remains. is an
invaluable resource for researchers and professionals working with
Indigenous Ancestral Remains.
The idea of "race" played an increasing role in nineteenth-century
British colonial thought. For most of the nineteenth century, John
Crawfurd towered over British colonial policy in South-East Asia,
being not only a colonial administrator, journalist and
professional lobbyist, but also one of the key racial theorists in
the British Empire. He approached colonialism as a radical liberal,
proposing universal voting for all races in British colonies and
believing all races should have equal legal rights. Yet at the same
time, he also believed that races represented distinct species of
people, who were unrelated. This book charts the development of
Crawfurd's ideas, from the brief but dramatic period of British
rule in Java, to his political campaigns against James Brooke and
British rule in Borneo. Central to Crawfurd's political battles
were the debates he had with his contemporaries, such as Stamford
Raffles and William Marsden, over the importance of race and his
broader challenge to universal ideas of history, which questioned
the racial unity of humanity. The book taps into little explored
manuscripts, newspapers and writings to uncover the complexity of a
leading nineteenth-century political and racial thinker whose
actions and ideas provide a new view of British liberal, colonial
and racial thought.
