 | Imperial White: Race, Diaspora, and the British Empire Subjects: Whites -- Race identity -- Great Britain -- History -- 19th century; Whites -- Race identity -- Great Britain -- Colonies -- History -- 19th century; Ethnicity -- Great Britain -- History -- 19th century; Ethnicity -- Great Britain -- Colonies -- History; Radhika Mohanram shows not just how British imperial culture shaped the colonies but how the imperial rule of colonies gave new meanings to what it meant to be British. Considering whether whiteness, like theory, can travel, Mohanram also provides a new perspective on white diaspora, a phenomenon of the nineteenth century that has been largely absent in diaspora studies, ultimately rethinking British imperial whiteness. |
