Protecting the Empire's Humanity: Thomas Hodgkin and British Colonial Activism 1830–1870 - Critical Perspectives on Empire
Laidlaw, Zoe (University of Melbourne)
Laidlaw lays bare the contradictions of mid-nineteenth-century imperial Britain. Missionaries, scientists and imperial officials all claimed an interest in 'protecting' and 'civilizing' indigenous peoples, but this study of Quaker activist Thomas Hodgkin and the Aborigines' Protection Society reveals the fatal flaws in imperial 'humanitarianism'.
