In den WarenkorbPaperback. Zustand: New. 'An essential and fascinating book . enriches and deepens our understanding of this nation' - Bernardine Evaristo'A powerful book that brings the history of the Empire home - literally' - David OlusogaThe countryside is cherished by many Britons. There is a depth of feeling about rural places, the moors and lochs, valleys and mountains, cottages and country houses. Yet the British countryside, so integral to our national identity, is rarely seen as having anything to do with British colonialism. Where the countryside is celebrated, histories of empire are forgotten. In Our Island Stories, historian Corinne Fowler brings rural life and colonial rule together with transformative results. Through ten country walks, roaming the island with varied companions, Fowler combines local and global history, connecting the Cotswolds to Calcutta, Dolgellau to Virginia, and Grasmere to Canton.Empire transformed rural lives for better and for worse: whether in Welsh sheep farms or Cornish copper mines, it offered both opportunity and exploitation. Fowler shows how the booming profits of overseas colonial activities, and the select few who benefited, directly contributed to enclosure, land clearances and dispossession. These histories, usually considered separately, continue to shape lives across Britain today.To give an honest account, to offer both affection and criticism, is a matter of respect: we should not knowingly tell half a history. This new knowledge of our island stories, once gained, can only deepen Britons' relationship with their beloved landscape.

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. An Air Mail Editors' Pick Ten walks through idyllic scenery reveal rural Britain's forgotten links to transatlantic slavery and colonialism--a "revelatory travelogue-cum-expose" (Publishers Weekly, starred review) that will transform our understanding of the English countryside and its heritage. For centuries, the green fields, rugged highlands, and rolling hills of England, Scotland, and Wales have captured the global imagination as backdrops for the tales of adventure and seclusion that have become enduring symbols of British culture. But beneath the romantic perception of these rural locales--grand country estates, shoreline villages, and inland hamlets alike--is a past and present irrevocably shaped by British transatlantic slavery and colonialism. Over the course of ten country walks, scholar Corinne Fowler explores the unique colonial dimensions of British labor history, from agriculture to copper-mining, coastal trade to factory work. One route explores banking history in Southern England and its link to slavery on Louisianan plantations; another uncovers the historical impact of sugar profits on the Scottish isles and 18th-century tobacco imports on an English port. Each walk not only offers a fascinating exploration of the heart of British rural life, but also exposes its inextricable connection to colonial activity in the farthest reaches of the British empire. Accompanying the author on her walks are a fascinating group of people--artists, musicians, and writers--with strong attachments to the landscapes featured in this book and family links to former British colonies like Barbados and Senegal. Alongside these companions, Fowler illuminates the meaning of colonial history in local settings. Crucially, this is not just a history book but "a deftly critical, readable contribution to the historiography of empire" (Kirkus Reviews)--a compassionate reflection on the way we respond to sensitive, shared histories which link people across cultures, generations, and political divides.
