Book Description
Excerpt from Sir Stamford Raffles: England in the Far East Towards the end of 1898 Mr H. F. Wilson, the Editor of this Series, who had undertaken the life of Sir Stamford Raffles, asked me, owing to the pressure of his official work at the Colonial Office, to assist him in this volume. Mr Wilson was sent out in February to South Africa to Sir Alfred Milner in a legal capacity; so that, unfortunately, it became clear that, unless the book was to be indefinitely postponed, Mr Wilson must abandon the task. In this state of things, the life was entrusted to me. The present biography assuredly does not lack from want of material. The Records in the India Office relating to Sir Stamford Raffles would fill by themselves many goodly volumes. There is besides a fair amount of material published by Raffles.

Race and British Colonialism in Southeast Asia, 1770-1870
Author: Gareth KnapmanPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1315452154
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 404
Book Description
The idea of "race" played an increasing role in nineteenth-century British colonial thought. For most of the nineteenth century, John Crawfurd towered over British colonial policy in South-East Asia, being not only a colonial administrator, journalist and professional lobbyist, but also one of the key racial theorists in the British Empire. He approached colonialism as a radical liberal, proposing universal voting for all races in British colonies and believing all races should have equal legal rights. Yet at the same time, he also believed that races represented distinct species of people, who were unrelated. This book charts the development of Crawfurd’s ideas, from the brief but dramatic period of British rule in Java, to his political campaigns against James Brooke and British rule in Borneo. Central to Crawfurd’s political battles were the debates he had with his contemporaries, such as Stamford Raffles and William Marsden, over the importance of race and his broader challenge to universal ideas of history, which questioned the racial unity of humanity. The book taps into little explored manuscripts, newspapers and writings to uncover the complexity of a leading nineteenth-century political and racial thinker whose actions and ideas provide a new view of British liberal, colonial and racial thought.
