Burridge fonds. – 1950-1987. 44.5 cm of textual records and published materials. 46 audio compact discs. Biographical Sketch Kenelm Burridge was born in Malta in 1922. After spending his childhood in Lucknow, India, he was educated in England, and in 1939 he joined the Royal Navy. Burridge served on the battleships HMS Ramillies and Royal Sovereign in the Mediterranean, and the Atlantic and Indian Oceans until 1942, when he transferred to the sumbarine service. He was serving aboard HMS Splendid when she was sunk off Naples in 1943 and he was captured. He escaped later that year, and eventually returned to service in the Far East, retiring as a lieutenant in 1946. Burridge entered Exeter College, Oxford, that year, and completed his B.A. in 1948, a diploma in Social Anthropology, the following year, and later his B.Litt. (1950) and M.A. (1952) in Anthropology. He then obtained a Ph.D. in that field from Australian National University in 1954. Burridge has conducted fieldwork in Papua New Guinea, Malaya (where he was a research fellow at the University of Malaya), Australia, New Hebrides, and India. He held teaching posts in anthropology and ethnology at Baghdad University and Oxford before joining UBC as professor of anthropology in 1968.

  • Anthropology and Mission: the Incarnational Connection
    Anthropology and Mission: The Incarnational Connection DARRELL L. WHITEMAN Anthropology and Mission have had a long and stormy history to the present era. Nevertheless, anthropologists have used ethnographic data compiled by mis- sionaries to develop their theoretical models. This article briefly traces this histo- ry and shows how applied anthropology emerged and impacted mission. Missionaries' use ofanthropological insights is also explored, including discus- sion ofthe precursor to Missiology, the journal Practical Anthropology. The arti- cle concludes by drawing on the Incarnation as a model for mission and then arguing that there are biblical and theological reasons for developing a closer connection between anthropology and mission. In order to be more incarnational in cross-cultural ministry, we need to draw on the insights from anthropology. J "GOOd missionaries have always been good 'anthropologists," is the open- ing line of Eugene Nida's classic text, Customs and Cultures: Anthropologyfor Christian Missions (1954), published nearly a half cen- tury ago. In this article I will explore why Nida's comment is so profoundly true and why anthropology still has an important role to play in twenty-first-century Christian mISSIOn. Inthe present era ofglobalization God's mission to the world takes on forms that are quite different from yesterday's missionary activity in the heyday of colonialism. In fact, appropriate forms ofmission today are so different from yesterday that some people believe that because we are becoming a global village, the insights from anthropology that help us to understand and appreciate cultural differences are no longer needed. The erroneous assumption is that the world is quickly melding into a homogeneous global village, with capitalism as its economic engine and English as its language of discourse.

Repeated signs of a large-scale rebellion on the South Pacifie island of Tanna (Va­ nuatu) appeared in 1941. Civil disobedience was expressed through reference to a prophetic fig­ ure namedJohn Frum. In order to repress this politico-religious movement, categorized later as a cargo cult in the anthropological literature, the British administration accumulated thousands of pages of surveillance notes, reports and commentaries. This article proposes an introduction to the existence of these documents known as the 'John Frum files', which were classified as confidential until the last few years.

  • The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway and the Fort George Reserve, 1908-12
    “You Don’t Suppose the Dominion Government Wants to Cheat the Indians?”:1 The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway and the Fort George Reserve, 1908-12 David Vogt and David Alexander Gamble n 1911, after a year of disjointed negotiations, the Grand Trunk Pacific gtp( ) Railway acquired the Lheidli T’enneh First Nation’s I500-hectare (1,366 acres )Fort George Reserve No. 1 at the confluence of the Fraser and Nechako rivers in present-day Prince George. The Lheidli T’enneh, then known to the Canadian government as the Fort George Indian Band, attempted several means to delay the surrender and raise the price of purchase. Ultimately, they agreed to surrender the reserve and move permanently to a second reserve, at Shelley, in exchange for $125,000. This was up from an initial offer of $68,300 and included $25,000 in construction funds and a pledge to preserve the village’s original cemetery (thereafter designated Reserve No. 1A). A specific history of the reserve surrender has not yet been published. Several historians have discussed the implications of the surrender in the context of the gtp’s relations with other “white … institutions,” in- cluding rival developers and the Roman Catholic Church, but they have generally given inadequate attention to the Lheidli T’enneh themselves. Intriguingly, and in contrast, the admittedly racist gtp-sponsored travel writer Frank Talbot alleged that responsibility for delays lay with the “cunning of the red man,” not with white institutions.2 1 Quotation from Royal Commission on Indian Affairs, “Meeting with the Fort George Tribe,” 22-23, Library and Archives Canada (hereafter lac), RG 10, file AH12, vol.

  • Colonialism, Capitalism, and the Rise of State Schooling in British Columbia, 1849-1900 Trent University
    COLONIALISM, CAPITALISM, AND THE RISE OF STATE SCHOOLING IN BRITISH COLUMBIA, 1849-1900 A Thesis Submitted to the Committee on Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts and Science TRENT UNIVERSITY Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, Anishinaabe Territory © Copyright by Sean Carleton 2016 Canadian Studies Ph.D Graduate Program May 2016 ABSTRACT Colonialism, Capitalism, and the Rise of State Schooling in British Columbia, 1849-1900 Sean Carleton This dissertation examines the historical relationship between settler colonialism, capitalism, and the rise of state schooling in what is now known as British Columbia between 1849 and 1900. It aims to “unsettle” conventional views of Canadian schooling history by bringing accounts of Indigenous and non-Indigenous education into one analytical frame, and it shows how the state used different forms of schooling for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous children—company, common, public, mission, day, boarding, and industrial schools—to assist colonial-capitalist social formation in the Pacific Northwest. In combining interdisciplinary insights from Indigenous studies, historical materialism, political economy, and critical pedagogy, the dissertation highlights the ways in which state-supported schooling facilitated capitalist accumulation by colonial dispossession. The central argument of the dissertation is that between 1849 and 1900, colonial, provincial, and federal governments strategically took on greater responsibility for schooling as a way of legitimizing the state and supporting the emergence of a capitalist settler society. KEYWORDS: Settler Colonialism; Capitalism; Education; Indigenous Peoples; Violence; Indian Residential Schools; History; Political Economy; British Columbia; Canada. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I gratefully acknowledge the funding I received from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) to complete this dissertation.

  • An Environmental History of the Construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway
    Tracks, Tunnels and Trestles: An Environmental History of the Construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway by Heather Anne Longworth B.A., Acadia University, 2007 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of History © Copyright Heather Anne Longworth, 2009. University of Victoria All rights reserved. This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. ii Tracks, Tunnels and Trestles: An Environmental History of the Construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway by Heather Anne Longworth B.A., Acadia University, 2007 Supervisory Committee Dr. Richard Rajala, Supervisor (Department of History) Dr. Eric Sager, Departmental Member (Department of History) iii Supervisory Committee Dr. Richard Rajala, Supervisor (Department of History) Dr. Eric Sager, Departmental Member (Department of History) Abstract The construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) was not a conquest of man over nature as some historians have suggested and the driving of the last spike did not cement that victory. By studying the CPR from an environmental perspective, it becomes obvious that the relationship between the people and the environment in the mountains was two- fold: workers had an effect on the environment through fires, deforestation, excavation, and blasting, and the environment likewise had an effect on workers through the hardships of weather, challenging terrain, avalanches, and floods. Shortcuts, such as steep grades and wooden bridges, taken by the CPR throughout construction to save money and time, as well as the poor route choice, had unintended consequences for the operation of the railway.
