Civilising Subjects: Colony and Metropole in the English Imagination, 1830-1867 Paperback - 2002
by Catherine Hall
From the rear cover
How did the English get to be English? In Civilising Subjects, Catherine Hall argues that the idea of empire was at the heart of mid-nineteenth-century British self-imagining, with peoples such as the Aborigines in Australia and the negroes in Jamaica serving as markers of difference separating civilised English from savage others. Hall uses the stories of two groups of Englishmen and -women to explore British self-constructions both in the colonies and at home. In Jamaica, a group of Baptist missionaries hoped to make African-Jamaicans into people like themselves, only to be disappointed when the project proved neither simple nor congenial to the black men and women for whom they hoped to fashion new selves. And in Birmingham, abolitionist enthusiasm dominated the city in the 1830s, but by the 1860s, a harsher racial vocabulary reflected a new perception of the nonwhite subjects of empire as different kinds of men from the manly citizens of Birmingham. This absorbing and detailed study of the racing of Englishness will be invaluable for students and scholars of imperial and cultural history.
