Inquiring into Empire

Colonial Commissions and British Imperial Reform, 1819-1833

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The first pan-imperial history of commissions of inquiry sent across the British empire between 1819 and 1833. Drawing on the commissioners' extensive archive, this work develops a new understanding of early nineteenth-century reform as a part-genuine and part-defensive commitment to managing change on the global stage of counter revolution.
