Propaganda and empire / John M. MacKenzie
Titre : Propaganda and empire : the manipulation of British public opinion, 1880-1960 Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : John M. MacKenzie, Auteur Editeur : Manchester ; New York : Manchester University Press Année de publication : 1984 Importance : (277 p.) Présentation : ill. Format : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-7190-1869-5 Note générale : Autres tirages : 1990, 1994, 1997, 2003 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Media and public opinion Great Britain Imperialism English public opinion British colonies. Résumé : It has been said that the British Empire, on which the sun never set, meant little to the man in the street. Apart from the jingoist eruptions at the death of Gordon or the relief of Mafeking he remained stonily indifferent to the imperial destiny that beckoned his rulers so alluringly. Strange, then that for three-quarters of a century it was scarcely possible to buy a bar of soap or a tin of biscuits without being reminded of the idea of Empire. Packaging, postcards, music hall, cinema, boy's stories and school books, exhibitions and parades, all conveyed the message that Empire was an adventure and an ennobling responsibility. Army and navy were a sure shield for the mother country and the subject peoples alike. Boys' brigades and Scouts stiffened the backbone of youth who flocked to join. In this illuminating study John M. Mackenzie explores the manifestations of the imperial idea, from the trappings of royalty through writers like G. A. Henty to the humble cigarette card. He shows that it was so powerful and pervasive that it outlived the passing of Empire itself and, as events such as the Falklands 'adventure' showed, the embers continue to smoulder.

Titre : The British Empire : sunrise to sunset Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Philippa Levine, Auteur Editeur : London : Routledge Année de publication : 2013 Importance : (XV-290 p.) Présentation : illustrations, cartes, couv. ill. en coul Format : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-4082-6920-6 Note générale : bibliogr. Chronol. Index Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Imperialism Decolonization Great Britain History Commonwealth British colonies. Résumé : This is a broad survey of the history of the British Empire from its beginnings to its demise. It offers a comprehensive analysis not just of political events and territorial conquests but paints a picture of what life was like under colonial rule, both for those who ruled and for those whose countries came under British authority.
There has been a lively debate in recent years about whether empires generally are good or bad things, and the British Empire has been very much at the centre of that debate, with a number of voices arguing that it was a kinder, gentler Empire than its rivals. This book speaks specifically to that debate, and also to a second and equally vigorous debate about whether anyone in Britain actually cared about the possession of an Empire.The British Empire : sunrise to sunset [texte imprimé] / Philippa Levine, Auteur . - [S.l.] : London : Routledge, 2013 . - (XV-290 p.) : illustrations, cartes, couv. ill. en coul ; 24 cm.

Titre : The idea of greater Britain : empire and the future of world order, 1860-1900 Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Duncan Bell, Auteur Editeur : Princeton ; Oxford : Princeton University Press Année de publication : 2007 Importance : (X-321 p.) Format : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-691-12865-8 Note générale : Bibliogr. p. [273]-311. Notes bibiogr. en bas de pages. Index Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Imperialism 19th century Civilization Great Britain British colonies. Résumé : During the tumultuous closing decades of the nineteenth century, as the prospect of democracy loomed and as intensified global economic and strategic competition reshaped the political imagination, British thinkers grappled with the question of how best to organize the empire. Many found an answer to the anxieties of the age in the idea of Greater Britain, a union of the United Kingdom and its settler colonies in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and southern Africa. In The Idea of Greater Britain, Duncan Bell analyzes this fertile yet neglected debate, examining how a wide range of thinkers conceived of this vast "Anglo-Saxon" political community. Their proposals ranged from the fantastically ambitious--creating a globe-spanning nation-state--to the practical and mundane--reinforcing existing ties between the colonies and Britain. But all of these ideas were motivated by the disquiet generated by democracy, by challenges to British global supremacy, and by new possibilities for global cooperation and communication that anticipated today's globalization debates. Exploring attitudes toward the state, race, space, nationality, and empire, as well as highlighting the vital theoretical functions played by visions of Greece, Rome, and the United States, Bell illuminates important aspects of late-Victorian political thought and intellectual life.
