This fascinating book is destined to become a landmark in the history of science in South Africa.? ?Nigel Penn, University of Cape Town, South Africa ?This book is an original study of the contributions of a woman scientist. It is the most detailed study of its kind...The book will make a significant addition to the global literature that examines the colonial and gendered dimensions of the history of science.? ?William Beinart, University of Oxford, UK ?Moving seamlessly between biographical, local and international frames, this book provides a fresh look at the global knowledge transformations of the nineteenth century.? ?Kirsten McKenzie, University of Sydney, Australia This book explores the lifeand work of Mary Elizabeth Barber, a British-born settler scientist who lived in the Cape during the nineteenth century. It provides a lens into a range of subjects within the history of knowledge and science, gender and social history, postcolonial, critical heritage and archival studies. The book examines the international importance of a marginalized scientist, the instrumentalisation of science to settlers' political concerns and reveals the pivotal but largely silenced contribution of indigenous African experts. Including a variety of material, visual and textual sources, this study explores how these artefacts are archived in museums and critically analyses their content and silences. The book traces Barber?s legacy across three continents, offering insights into the politics of memory and history-making. . 410 0$aCambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies,$x2635-1641 606 $aScience$xHistory 606 $aImperialism 606 $aAfrica, Sub-Saharan$xHistory 606 $aEthnology 606 $aHistory of Science 606 $aImperialism and Colonialism 606 $aHistory of Sub-Saharan Africa 606 $aSociocultural Anthropology 615 0$aScience$xHistory. 615 0$aImperialism. 615 0$aAfrica, Sub-Saharan$xHistory. 615 0$aEthnology. 615 14$aHistory of Science. 615 24$aImperialism and Colonialism. 615 24$aHistory of Sub-Saharan Africa. 615 24$aSociocultural Anthropology. 676 $a509 676 $a968.703092 686 $aHIS000000$aHIS001000$aSCI034000$aSOC032000$2bisacsh 700 $aHammel$b Tanja$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0978309 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910372740203321 996 $aShaping Natural History and Settler Society$92229533 997 $aUNINA
