In Slavery, Abolitionism and Empire in India, 1772–1843, Andrea Major asks why, at a time when East India Company expansion in India, British abolitionism and the missionary movement were all at their height, was the existence of slavery in India so often ignored, denied or excused? By exploring Britain's ambivalent relationship with both real and imagined slaveries in India, and the official, evangelical and popular discourses which surrounded them, she seeks to uncover the various political, economic and ideological agendas that allowed East Indian slavery to be represented as qualitatively different from it trans-Atlantic counterpart. In doing so, she uncovers tensions in the relationship between colonial policy and the so-called 'civilising mission', elucidating the intricate interactions between humanitarian movements, colonial ideologies and imperial imperatives in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century. The work draws on a range of sources from Britain and India to provide a trans-national perspective on this little known facet of the story of slavery and abolition in the British Empire, uncovering the complex ways in which Indian slavery was encountered, discussed, utilised, rationalised, and reconciled with the economic, political and moral imperatives of an empire whose focus was shifting to the East.Liverpool studies in international slavery ;6.Slavery, Abolitionism & Empire in India, 1772-1843SlaveryIndiaHistory18th centurySlaveryIndiaHistory19th centuryAntislavery movementsGreat BritainHistory18th centuryAntislavery movementsGreat BritainHistory19th centurySlavery and the churchGreat BritainHistory18th centurySlavery and the churchGreat BritainHistory19th centuryIndiaSocial conditionsIndiaSocial life and customsSlaveryHistorySlaveryHistoryAntislavery movementsHistoryAntislavery movementsHistorySlavery and the churchHistorySlavery and the churchHistory306.3/620954Major Andrea1093232UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910790283003321Slavery, abolitionism and empire in India, 1772-18433688912UNINA
