Book Description
Excerpt from Britain and France in the New Hebrides Islands, S. W. Pacific: Arguments for Sole Control to Pass to British Empire One of the main Objects that France had in taking possession of New Caledonia was that the Island might be utilised as a Convict Settlement. The Census of 1901 in New Caledonia is significant. There were then Officials, soldiers and colonists; natives; and convicts. Though the introduction of convicts ceased in 1898, the fact that there were over of these criminals there in 1901 speaks for itself. Australia has undoubtedly suffered from the presence near her shores of thousands of the lowest criminals of France. Dislike of isolation is characteristic of the French, and naturally therefore French convicts escaping from New Caledonia found their way to Australia. Not only so but such Frenchmen are prone to dislike hard and continuous manual labour, especially so when aboriginals can be secured, by cajolery or bribes, or even by force, to undertake tropical labour. The original natives of New Caledonia having largely died out (reduced from in 1850 to in 1901) the French were early in the field in the effort to secure, often, alas, by violent means - which ultimately outraged the feelings of mankind - natives from the New Hebrides to replenish the supply of labourers in New Caledonia men for work, and women for worse purposes.

Book Description
Empires and their aftermaths were massive planning institutions; in the past two hundred years, the natural and social sciences emerged—at least in part—as modes of knowledge production for imperial planning. Yet these connections are frequently under-emphasized in the history of science and its corollary fields. The Planning Moment explores the myriad ways plans and planning practices pervade recent global history. The book is built around twenty-seven brief case studies that explore the centrality of planning in colonial and postcolonial environments, relationships, and contexts, through a range of disciplines: the history of science, science and technology studies, colonial and postcolonial studies, urban studies, and the history of knowledge. If colonialism made certain landscapes, populations, and institutions legible while obscuring others, The Planning Moment reveals the frequently disruptive and violent processes of erasure in imperial planning by examining how “common sense” was produced and how the intransigence of planning persists long after decolonization. In recognizing the resistance and subversion that often met colonial plans, the book makes visible a range of strategies and techniques by which planning was modified and reappropriated, and by which decolonial futures might be imagined.
