Race, Empire and Bondage I
This course will take a transnational approach to questions
of race and sexuality in the British empire from the
late eighteenth to the early twentieth centuries. We
will focus on the experiences, culture and resistance
of men and women engaged in bonded labour (slaves, convicts
and indentured labourers) in three key areas –
the Caribbean, South Africa and Australia. We will also
explore the reasons for changing colonial labour policies
during the heyday of British industrialisation and imperialism.
