Product DescriptionRun a Quick Search on "Making Empire" by Richard Price to Browse Related Products:Browse more products related to "Making Empire"Browse more products related to "Richard Price"Review"Price...has written a most impressive book, for which he has mined the voluminous official records in the Western Cape Archives and a wide range of missionary material. He has not only mastered this primary documentation, but draws on related literature to present a vivid and detailed account which brings out the drama in the story and combines skilfull narrative with insightful analysis." Publisher's noteThis is the dramatic story of the colonial encounter and the construction of empire in Southern Africa in the nineteenth century. What did the British make of the Xhosa and how did they make sense of their politics and culture? How did the British establish and then explain their dominion, especially when it ran counter to the cultural values they believed themselves to represent? Richard Price answers these questions by looking at the ways in which individual missionaries, officials and politicians interacted with the Xhosa. He describes how those encounters changed and shaped the culture of imperial rule in Southern Africa. He charts how an imperial regime developed both in the minds of the colonizers and in the everyday practice of power and how the British imperial presence was entangled in and shaped by the encounter with the Xhosa from the very moment of their first meeting.
