Produktbeschreibung
Empire Families focuses on childhood among middle-class Britons in India between the late nineteenth century and decolonization, and the impact that this had on the raj. Even though many Britons never perceived themselves to be permanent residents, imperial identities were forged and continued through generations of families in India, whilst in Britain, despite repeated travels to and from India, they experienced alienation. In this first study of family life in colonial India, Buettner highlights the social significance both of growing up in the raj and of the itinerant colonial lifestyle.
What was life like for the British men, women, and children who lived in late imperial India while serving the Raj? Empire Families examines this British overseas community by looking at a series of families, their lives in India, and their travels back to Britain. Focusing for the first time on the experiences of parents and children alike, and including the Beveridge, Butler, Orwell, and Kipling families, Elizabeth Buettner uncovers the meanings of growingup in the Raj and an itinerant imperial lifestyle.
