About this item
| Description: | Dr Condos, of Queen Mary, University of London, investigates the representations of colonial British character. He argues that the commonly presented traits of stoicism and courage masked an underlying fear and vulnerability, and that the pervasive anxiety in British colonial society precipitated violence and led to the placing of absolute power being placed in the hands of remote colonial officials. |
