Recenzii
This is a well researched and moving account of the transnational trajectories of families that were made and dispersed by the contingencies of the British Empire and will be of use to scholars of twentieth- century India and New Zealand as well as those interested in race, childhood, migration, missions, genealogical methodologies and oral history.
McCabe's remarkable work tells us about the meanings of silence and talking, about frightening and exhilarating journeys across land and sea and lifeways, about the hopes and fears joining northeastern India to Scotland and New Zealand, and to the extraordinary courage of children who made and re-made their lives in an early 20th-century world uneasy with their very existence. This book changes the lives of those who read it.
From a tiny archive in the foothills of northeast India to the bungalows of British tea planters to the shores of New Zealand and beyond, this remarkable study shows us the scale and drama of empire through transnational family histories. We see the soft power of empire embedded in the hardware of a racialized colonial labor economy; the pain and poignancy of white settlement; and above all, the quiet dignity of a grandmother's story. All told with a combination of rigor and intimacy that makes the stakes of critical imperial history clear to academics and general readers alike.
