ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: ROYAL SUBJECTS
ABSTRACT Title of dissertation: ROYAL SUBJECTS, IMPERIAL CITIZENS: THE MAKING OF BRITISH IMPERIAL CULTURE, 1860- 1901 Charles Vincent Reed, Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Dissertation directed by: Professor Richard Price Department of History ABSTRACT: The dissertation explores the development of global identities in the nineteenth-century British Empire through one particular device of colonial rule – the royal tour. Colonial officials and administrators sought to encourage loyalty and obedience on part of Queen Victoria’s subjects around the world through imperial spectacle and personal interaction with the queen’s children and grandchildren. The royal tour, I argue, created cultural spaces that both settlers of European descent and colonial people of color used to claim the rights and responsibilities of imperial citizenship. The dissertation, then, examines how the royal tours were imagined and used by different historical actors in Britain, southern Africa, New Zealand, and South Asia. My work builds on a growing historical literature about “imperial networks” and the cultures of empire. In particular, it aims to understand the British world as a complex field of cultural encounters, exchanges, and borrowings rather than a collection of unitary paths between Great Britain and its colonies.

Sir Bartle Frere and the Zulu War
Sir Bartle Frere and the Zulu War. By D.P. O’Connor _____________________________________________________________________________________________ That the border violations of 1878 were an inadequate reason for Britain to invade Zululand in 1879 has long been recognised. The consensus has it that Sir Bartle Frere, an imperial administrator of great experience, had been sent out to South Africa as Governor to carry through a confederation of all the various political units of South Africa at the behest of the Colonial Secretary, Lord Carnarvon, in order to affect a settlement that would provide security, from both internal and external threats, for the Cape settlers, economic development and a closer relationship with Britain. It would also reduce costs for the government in London and provide both Carnarvon and Frere with suitable climaxes to their careers. The policy was always an ambitious one and was already in doubt by the time Frere reached Cape Town. When Carnarvon resigned over Disraeli’s policy in the Balkan crisis of 1878, it seemed that Confederation had lost its main driving force, reducing its chances of success still further. This did not prevent Frere from continuing with the policy and, accustomed to a wide degree of discretion being granted to him, attempting to settle the recurrent instability of the region on his own initiative. After the annexation of the Transvaal in 1877, he became convinced that the destruction of the Zulu army was an ‘urgent necessity’ if the process of Confederation was to continue because Confederation would necessarily involve the settler polities paying for their own defence in the eventuality of a war with the Zulus and this they were most reluctant to do. -

TRANSFORMATION IN LATE COWNIAL NGQIKA SOCIETY: A POLITICAL, ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL HISTORY OF AFRICAN COMMUNITIES IN THE DISTRIcr OF STUTTERHEIM (EASTERN CAPE), c.1870-1910 THESIS SUBMITTED IN FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS for the DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS of RHODES UNIVERSITY by LUVUYO ELLWOOD WOTSHELA JANUARY 1994 Abstract This study analyses the methods and policies of the colonial government which shaped Stutterheim's African communities between c.1870 and 1910. In 1870 the Stutterheim magisterial district had not yet been officially established. However, creation of the British Kaffrarian administration (1847-1865) had already ensured the entrenchment of colonial rule over the humiliated Xhosa chiefdoms west of the Kei. This work studies transformations in late colonial Ngqika society and the development of Stutterheim as a magisterial district. It analyses the entrenchment of colonial bureaucracy and changes in indigenous social, economic and political structures. In the period c.1860-1877, direct administration of the Ngqika was first attempted. While recovering from the 1856-57 cattle killing, the Ngqika were brought under colonial administration by the annexation of British Kaffraria to the Cape Colony in 1865. The thesis also examines the process and implications of the breakup and resettlement of the Ngqika location after the 1877-1878 war and the mechanisms and complications in forming a new postwar settlement. The focus then narrows to Stutterheim magisterial district (finalised in 1880), where, after the removal of the main Ngqika population to the Transke~ formal structures of quitrent settlement were established around mission stations. A new form of social behaviour underpinned by principles of individualism evolved under missionary influence. -
An Overview Translation History South Africa 1652–1860
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Wits Institutional Repository on DSPACE An Overview of Translation History in South Africa 1652–1860 By Birgitt Olsen A research report submitted to the Faculty of the Arts, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts: Translation Adelaide, South Australia, 2008 i Abstract This research report comprises an outline of South African translation history in the years 1652 – 1860. The report is divided into three chapters, covering scriptural and secular translation history across two time periods, namely 1652-1750 (scriptural and secular), 1750-1860 (scriptural) and 1750-1860 (secular). A catalogue of translations done in these time periods is also included. The research methodology is based on hermeneutical principles, and therefore seeks to interpret and represent historical material in a way that makes it relevant for contemporary circumstances, always focusing on the individuals involved in events as well as taking into account the subjectivity of the researcher. In conclusion, but also as a part of the overall rationale for performing the research, the report discusses the immediate importance to modern society of understanding the historical linguistic dynamics between cultures, as represented in translation activity. ii Declaration I declare that this research report is my own unaided work. It is submitted for the degree of Master of Arts: Translation, in the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted before for any other degree or examination in any other university. ________________________________ Birgitt Olsen 20th day of November, 2008 iii Acknowledgements My sincere and warm thanks go to my supervisor, Dr Elizabeth Meintjes, for her perspicacious, patient and humorous assistance in the years it to me took complete this research report. -
