Traditionally, studies have focused on well-documented figures such as explorers, missionaries and capitalists. Working against the trend, this is the first book to concentrate solely on the role of engineers. It analyses the imperial diasporas, identities and networks that developed as the British engineering profession established connections on the African continent. Using a wide range of primary sources that include correspondence, diaries, technical reports, institutional minutes and periodicals, Andersen reconstructs the networks and activities of Britain's engineers while focusing on London as an imperial engineering centre. By treating Britain and the empire as an interconnected zone, he analyses the ways in which ideas, people and technologies circulated during this period. 410 0$aEmpires in perspective ;$vno. 16. 517 3 $aBritish Engineers & Africa, 1875-1914 606 $aEngineering$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aEngineering$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xColonies$zAfrica$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xColonies$zAfrica$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xForeign relations$zAfrica 607 $aAfrica$xForeign relations$zGreat Britain 615 0$aEngineering$xHistory 615 0$aEngineering$xHistory 676 $a620.0094109034 700 $aAndersen$b Casper.$01482492 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781750103321 996 $aBritish engineers and Africa, 1875-1914$93700157 997 $aUNINA
