Description

A study of British culture in 19th and 20th-century Asia. British Culture, Empire, and Modern Asia brings leading scholars together to consider the permeability of British culture in 19th and 20th-century Asia and its co-optation of colonial outsiders into upholders of the colonial and post-colonial order. Nicholas Tarling contributes a path-breaking study of the British university systems' push to take in fee-paying overseas students in the midst of post-war decolonization, while Paul Ward examines the iconography of the Beefeater as a cultural symbol of Britishness in such places as India, Hong Kong, Malaya, and Australia. Other chapters examine such topics as Britain's janus-faced culture of collaboration and rivalry with France in Asian ports in the mid-nineteenth century, British cultural values in the 19th-century Indian police, and the role of Britain's culture of anti-corruption in the making of modern Hong Kong. This book also features a roundtable examining the impact of Christopher Bayley's recent opus on Indian intellectual history, Recovering Liberties, which examines the ways in which liberal traditions in India and the West influenced and borrowed from each other. Roundtable contributors include Sugata Bose, Martin Wiener, and Philip Harling.
