Imperial Powers and Humanitarian Interventions: The Zanzibar Sultanate, Britain, and France in the Indian Ocean, 1862–1905: Empires in Perspective
Autor Raphaël Cheriauen Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 ian 2023
"Raphaël Cheriau argues that the ‘brutal power politics’ of recent humanitarian interventions have shaped historians’ perspectives on earlier interventions, but that he is able to escape these present-day sensibilities in his approach to British and French interventions in nineteenth-century eastern Africa. While I might challenge that suggestion, nonetheless he offers historians a valuable book that explores in detail the way imperialists of the nineteenth century did and did not use humanitarianism as a justification for their work in eastern Africa." - Elisabeth MacMahon, The English Historical Review
"The author weaves together a rich trove of primary documents from both British and French archives; some of these have been fruitfully exploited by previous historians, others reflect Cheriau’s energetic digging to go beyond the obvious. He also draws upon an equally dense corpus of published primary sources in both languages, as well as several contemporary newspapers, while his mastery of the secondary literature is impressive." - Edward Alpers, Australian Institute of International Affairs

Recenzii
"Imperial Powers and Humanitarian Interventions is an essential contribution to the diplomatic and legal history of the second half of the nineteenth century. It shows how the concept of humanitarian intervention emerged on the fringes of the British, Omani and French empires during the suppression of the slave trade, paving the way for the modern history of human rights."
- Sue Peabody, Meyer Distinguished Professor of History and Liberal Arts, Washington State University.
"Imperial Powers and Humanitarian Interventions is an important work. Using French and British diplomatic sources for the first time, it explores the complex relationship between the humanitarian dynamics of the 19th-century anti-slavery movement and the operations of the British Royal Navy, as well as European imperialism in East Africa."
- Professor Gwyn Campbell, Canada Research Chair in Indian Ocean World History, and Director of the Indian Ocean World Centre, McGill University.

Descriere
In the second half of the 19th century, the Zanzibar Sultanate became the focal point of European imperial and humanitarian policies. This book challenges the common presumption that those humanitarian concerns only served to conceal vile colonial interests.
