Book excerpt: On Crown Service fills a large gap in the historical literature on the British Empire and will be used widely as a work of reference as well as for a history of the Colonial Service. It is a balanced and thorough account of a subject that no other than Kirk-Greene could have written. I am listing it among the 20 most important works on the British Empire in the twentieth century._ Wm. Roger Louis, University of Texas at Austin. Published to commemorate the centenary of the Corona Club in 1999 and to mark the end of Her Majesty's Overseas Civil Services, this is the only institutional history of the Colonial Service to appear for over sixty years. Anthony Kirk-Greene has combined an extensive use of archival records and historical documentation with an unparalleled knowledge of secondary sources to produce a detailed, authoritative narrative of this most important era. This work will appeal to all historians and general readers with an interest in Britain's Colonial Service. It is destined to become the standard study of its history. Contents:_ An Expanding Empire to Staff, 1837-1899; The Evolution of the Modern Colonial Service, 1900-1939; The Expansion of the post-war Colonial Service, 1943-1954; HMOCS: Reshaping a Successor Service, 1954-1997.

  • ISBN : 9781350176164
  • Pages : 360 pages

Download or read book Symbol of Authority written by Anthony Kirk-Greene and published by Bloomsbury Academic. This book was released on 2020-08-20 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The district officer - the D.O. - was the pivot of the British Colonial Administration throughout the British Empire, as was his counterpart in India - immortalized in Philip Woodruff's "The Men who Ruled India". The D.O. who was both administrator and magistrate and the essential link with the professional and technical services and essentially, with the indigenous population - the 600,000,000 people they served - in an empire of service rather than domination. In this book, Anthony Kirk-Greene, who was himself a distinguished member of the Nigeria Service, draws upon personal memoirs, diaries, private and official papers, and his own experience, to paint a vivid picture of the service and a never-to-be-repeated episode in British history.

Book Britain s Imperial Administrators  1858 1966

Download or read book Britain s Imperial Administrators 1858 1966 written by A. Kirk-Greene and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2000-02-24 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Britain's famous overseas civil services - the Colonial Administrative Service, the Indian Civil Service and the Sudan Political Service - no longer exist as a major and sought-after career for Britain's graduates. In this detailed study the history of each service is presented within the framework of the need to administer an expanding empire. Close attention is paid to the methods of recruitment and training and to the socio-educational background of the overseas administrators as well as to the nature of their work. The prestigious incumbents of Government House are revealingly examined. The impact of decolonisation on overseas officials and the kinds of 'second careers' which they took up are documented. This authoritative narrative history is enlivened by recourse to Service lore and anecdotes.

Book Canada and Colonialism

    Book Details:
  • Author : Jim Reynolds
  • Publisher : Purich Books
  • Release : 2024-05-15
  • ISBN : 0774880961
  • Pages : 326 pages

Download or read book Canada and Colonialism written by Jim Reynolds and published by Purich Books. This book was released on 2024-05-15 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colonialism endures in Canada today. Dismantling it requires an understanding of how colonialism operated across the British Empire and why Canada’s colonial experience was unique. Whereas colonies such as India were ruled through despotism and violence, Canada’s white settler population governed itself while oppressing the Indigenous peoples whose lands they were on. Canada and Colonialism shows that Canadians’ support for colonial rule – both at home and abroad – is the reason colonialism remains entrenched in Canadian law and society today. Author Jim Reynolds presents a truly compelling account of Canada’s colonial coming of age and its impacts on Indigenous peoples, including the settler-led internal colonialism behind the Indian Act and those who enforced it. As one of the nation’s leading experts in Aboriginal law, Reynolds provides a vital accounting of the historical underpinnings and contemporary challenges the nation must address to reconcile with Indigenous peoples and move toward decolonization.

Book The Diary of Hamman Yaji

Download or read book The Diary of Hamman Yaji written by Hamman Yaji and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 1995-05-22 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In August 1927, British colonial authorities arrested Hamman Yaji, Emir of Madagali, an infamous slave trader who had terrorized the neighboring montagnard populations of the Northern Cameroons and bedeviled the colonial administrations of three nations. His diary was seized and soon became a fabled document in northern Nigerian history. Written in Arabic and translated into English by a British colonial official, the diary chronicles Hamman Yaji's daily activities between 1912 and 1927. He recorded his daily routine - where he traveled, his slaving raids and slave-trading activities, visitors and gifts received, his relations with friends and family and with the British administration, and his practice of Islam. This rare and remarkable document, made accessible to scholars for the first time since its composition more than seventy-five years ago, is enhanced by a substantial introduction that places Hamman Yaji in historical and cultural perspective and describes the diary's discovery and translation, and its significance for British colonial and West African history.
