Recenzii
'There were always political, racial and moral contradictions in the British Empire and this excellent study demonstrates them with particular clarity. This is an interesting book to read and shows just how heterogeneous Britain's imperial project was.' The Historical Association (history.org.uk)
'Immediately, the combination of approach and object of inquiry is intriguing. Add to this its unconventional geography - Britain, India, and Australia over the long nineteenth century - and we have a book that surprises and puzzles but ultimately energizes the field.' The American Historical Review
'Heath has written an exceptional book on nineteenth-century British colonial policy and the ways in which [this] came to impact policies in Australia and India and the governing of those nation states.' LIMINA: A Journal of Historical and Cultural Studies
