Settlers and Expatriates: Britons over the Seas by Robert Bickers
Requirements: .PDF reader, 5 MB
Overview: The British Empire gave rise to various new forms of British identity in the colonial world outside the Dominions. In cities and colonies, and in sovereign states subject to more informal pressures such as Argentina or China, communities of Britons developed identities inflected by local
ambitions and pressures. As a result they often found themselves at loggerheads with their diplomatic or colonial office minders, especially in the era of decolonisation. The impact of empire on metropolitan British identity is increasingly well documented; the evolution of dominions’ nationalisms
is likewise well known; but the new species of Britishness which attained their fullest form in the mid-twentieth century have received significantly less attention.
