Honourable Intentions?

- Violence and Virtue in Australian and Cape Colonies, c 1750 to 1850.

Bag om Honourable Intentions?

Honourable Intentions? compares the significance and strategic use of ideas of honour in two colonial societies, the Cape Colony and the early British settlements in Australia, between 1750 and 1850. In both regions swirled a free, and often transient, population of emigrants with diverse backgrounds and transnational experiences. The contributors explore the transmutations and yet resilience of concepts of honour in the face of radical challenges posed by commercialisation, democratisation and the experiences of colonization, to explain how during these times of flux, concepts of honour and status were radically reconstructed.
