Honourable Intentions?: Violence and Virtue in Australian and Cape Colonies, c 1750 to 1850.: Routledge Research in Early Modern History
Editat de Penny Russell, Nigel Wordenen Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 dec 2019
Each of the thirteen chapters considers honour in a particular sphere - legal, political, religious or personal - and in different contexts determined by the distinctive and changing matrix of race, gender and class, as well as the distinctions of free and unfree status in each colony. Early chapters in the volume show how and why the political, ideological and moral stakes of the concept of honour were particularly important in colonial societies; later chapters look more closely at the social behaviour and the purchase of honour among specific groups. Collectively, the chapters show that there was no clear distinction between political and social life, and that honour crossed between the public and private spheres.
This exciting new collection brings together new and established historians of Australia and South Africa to highlight thought-provoking parallels and contrasts between the Cape and Australian colonies that will be of interest to all scholars of colonial societies and the concept of honour.

Recenzii
"This path-breaking collection of essays extends the reach of comparative studies of colonial culture and governance. It provides an important intervention in practices of trans-regional scholarship, demonstrating how malleable ideas moved among both elites and commoners, creating material consequences that are mutually recognizable in spite of the great distance and different local circumstances that separate Australia and South Africa. The deep conceptual work and careful attention to detail in the essays will find broad readership among early-modern cultural historians of all regions and an eager audience of colonial-era scholars."
Laura J. Mitchell, University of California, Irvine, USA
"A truly remarkable collection of trendsetting essays that tracks and traces the social history of honour in colonial South Africa and colonial Australia between 1750-1850. Authored by a blend of influential and emerging historians, the book analyses how honour was understood by different colonial identities and influenced by diverse contexts. By offering fresh insights into the private and public worlds of individuals with reference to honour, it unlocks some of the more complex inner workings of colonial societies and contested human relations."

Descriere
Honourable Intentions? compares the significance and strategic use of ideas of honour in two colonial societies, the Cape Colony and the early British settlements in Australia, between 1750 and 1850. In both regions swirled a free, and often transient, population of emigrants with diverse backgrounds and transnational experience
