4.9/5 (9367 ratings)

Description:This book explores the decision of the British Empire to import Chinese labour to southern Africa despite the already tense racial situation in the region. It enables a clearer understanding of racial and political developments in southern Africa during the reconstruction period and places localised issues within a wider historiography.1. Chinese migration and 'white' networks, c.1850-1902 --2. The Transvaal labour 'problem' and the Chinese solution --3. Greater Britain in South Africa: colonial nationalisms and imperial networks --4. A question of honour: slavery, sovereignty and the legal framework --5. Sex, violence and the Chinese: the 1905-6 moral panic --6. Adapting the stereotype: race and administrative control --7. Political repercussions --Conclusion: Racializing Empire --Appendix A: List of key figures. At the beginning of the twentieth century, 'white' colonies around the world had restricted Asian migration, associated with immorality, disease, and a threat to 'white' labour. The 'Yellow Peril' was in full swing. And yet, in 1904, the British government imported over 64,000 Chinese indentured labourers to work on gold mines in Southern Africa. This book explores the decision to import Chinese labour so soon after the empire had fought to secure Southern Africa for the British Empire and despite the already tense racial situation in the region. This enables a clearer understanding of racial and political developments in Southern Africa during the reconstruction period and the formation of South Africa the nation. It places these localised issues within a wider historiography, such as research into colonial violence, moral panics and Black Perils, networks of labourism and whiteness, and economic imperialism. Through this book one can trace the complicated negotiations between national and imperial identities, between independence and patriotism, and giving a clearer sense of how trans-colonial relationships evolved.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
