Book Description
Laidlaw lays bare the contradictions of mid-nineteenth-century imperial Britain. Missionaries, scientists and imperial officials all claimed an interest in 'protecting' and 'civilizing' indigenous peoples, but this study of Quaker activist Thomas Hodgkin and the Aborigines' Protection Society reveals the fatal flaws in imperial 'humanitarianism'.
