Recenzii
An engaging and elevated analysis ... Prefaced by a well-balanced introduction and concluded with thoughtful contemporary implications of the research, Unhomely Empire is an approachable study for those familiar and those unfamiliar with the topic.
Thought-provoking.
What Gust offers is a powerful account where whiteness intersects with other identities to create a distinctly 'British' identity.
Onni Gust's Unhomely Empire is an exceptionally nuanced and delightfully troubling study of the ideas of belonging and estrangement at the heart of the British imperial experience threading through Scottish Highlands and India of the Company Raj. It brings together intimate questions of domicile, sexuality, and racial difference as key facets of imperial selfhood observed through overlapping lenses of history and biography in ways that have not been attempted before.
Situated at the intersection of histories of Britain and the British Empire, and studiesof the self and racial formation, Unhomely Empire: whiteness and belonging, c.1760-1830 is a deep dive into the Scottish Enlightenment and its lived implications. Bydemonstrating how European imperial expansion, the trans-Atlantic slave trade, andracial thinking informed Scottish Enlightenment ideas of belonging, the book makesimportant contributions to cultural history and the history of imperial networks.
