Contents:
Prologue : Chief Sandile encounters the British Empire -- Introduction -- 1. British royals at home with the empire -- 2. Naturalising British rule -- 3. Building new Jerusalems : global Britishness and settler cultures in South Africa and New Zealand -- 4. 'Positively cosmopolitan' : Britishness, respectability and imperial citizenship -- 5. The empire comes home : colonial subjects and the appeal for imperial justice --Postscript and conclusion.
Summary: Royal Tourists, Colonial Subjects and the Making of a British World, 1860-1911 examines the ritual space of nineteenth-century royal tours of empire and the diverse array of historical actors who participated in them. The book suggests that the varied responses to the royal tours of the nineteenth century demonstrate how a multi-centred British imperial culture was forged in the empire and was constantly made and remade, appropriated and contested. In this context, subjects of empire provincialised the British Isles, centring the colonies in their political and cultural constructions of empire, Britishness, citizenship and loyalty.
