This book project explores how colonial subjects of color in southern Africa and their allies in Britain and the empire fought for an inclusive “empire of justice” against the assembled forces of white supremacy. It will trace the intellectual and political lives of three generations of activists and intellectuals of color in colonial South Africa who, through an imagined community of print, made claims on a non-racial imperial citizenship and co-ownership of Britain’s global empire. |
