The impact of empires and the lingering presence of colonialism continue to be major preoccupations for scholars in the twenty-first century. This concise text explores the spread of settler colonies within the British Empire over the course of the nineteenth century, specifically those in New Zealand, Canada, South Africa, and Australia. In Building Better Britains?, Cecilia Morgan examines how imperial powers reshaped the lives and landscapes of millions through colonial relationships with Indigenous peoples, and the processes of migration and settlement that facilitated the British Empire’s global expansion. Identity and culture in geographically diverse settler societies are compared, highlighting shared histories and the nuances that differentiated them. Morgan encourages readers to consider settler societies from multiple perspectives, including those of the colonists themselves. Eight maps and eight illustrations enhance the text, along with a bibliography and index.

Von seiner Genese im 18. bis zu seinem Kollaps im 20. Jahrhundert erweist sich das bürgerliche Vatermodell als politisch und literarisch zentral: Die vorliegende Studie untersucht die Geschichte dieses Konstrukts erstmals systematisch mit Blick auf das Zusammenspiel von paternalen Herrschaftsmechanismen und der Emotionalisierung der Familie im Kontext des bürgerlichen Wertesystems. Literarisch etablierte familiale Strukturen werden dabei als wichtige Blaupause für die Repräsentation von Herrschaft sowie für das Zusammenspiel von Staat und Gesellschaft erkennbar. Das Buch verfolgt die Gratwanderung des bürgerlichen "Vaters" zwischen moderner Herrschaft und Emotionen unter drei leitenden Aspekten: zum einen bezüglich der Regulierung der filialen Sexualität, zum anderen hinsichtlich der Ermächtigung des "Vaters" in einer spezifischen, neuen privaten Wertesphäre, und zum dritten mit Blick auf den Funktionswandel des "Vaters" im Laufe der Jahrhunderte. Die auf dieser Basis nachvollzogene Entwicklung des bürgerlichen Vaters lässt sich als Vorgeschichte und damit auch als konsequente Historisierung wirkungsmächtiger anthropologischer Theorien (wie etwa Freuds Überlegungen zu Vaterschaft und Herrschaft) lesen.

By extending their voyages to all oceans from the 1760s onward, whaling vessels from North America and Europe spanned a novel net of hunting grounds, maritime routes, supply posts, and transport chains across the globe. For obtaining provisions, cutting firewood, recruiting additional men, and transshipping whale products, these highly mobile hunters regularly frequented coastal places and islands along their routes, which were largely determined by the migratory movements of their prey. American-style pelagic whaling thus constituted a significant, though often overlooked factor in connecting people and places between distant world regions during the long nineteenth century. Focusing on Africa, this book investigates side-effects resulting from stopovers by whalers for littoral societies on the economic, social, political, and cultural level. For this purpose it draws on eight local case studies, four from Africa’s west coast and four from its east coast. In the overall picture, the book shows a broad range of effects and side-effects of different forms and strengths, which it figures as a "grey undercurrent" of global history.--
