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. 410 0$aLiverpool studies in international slavery ;$v6. 517 3 $aSlavery, Abolitionism & Empire in India, 1772-1843 606 $aSlavery$zIndia$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aSlavery$zIndia$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aAntislavery movements$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aAntislavery movements$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aSlavery and the church$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aSlavery and the church$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aIndia$xSocial conditions 607 $aIndia$xSocial life and customs 615 0$aSlavery$xHistory 615 0$aSlavery$xHistory 615 0$aAntislavery movements$xHistory 615 0$aAntislavery movements$xHistory 615 0$aSlavery and the church$xHistory 615 0$aSlavery and the church$xHistory 676 $a306.3/620954 700 $aMajor$b Andrea$01093232 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811212703321 996 $aSlavery, abolitionism and empire in India, 1772-1843$93965061 997 $aUNINA
