Comparative and transnational in scope, \u003ci\u003eBarbed-Wire Imperialism\u003c\/i\u003e situates the concentration and refugee camps of the Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902) within longer traditions of controlling the urban poor in metropolitan Britain and managing \"suspect\" populations in the empire. Workhouses and prisons, along with criminal tribe settlements and enclosures for the millions of Indians displaced by famine and plague in the late nineteenth century, offered early prototypes for mass encampment. Venues of great human suffering, British camps were artifacts of liberal empire that inspired and legitimized the practices of future regimes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aidan Forth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520293967\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520293960\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/17\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 1.10d","brand":"Aidan Forth","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065002373375,"sku":"9780520293960","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8937feca-72e7-42f7-9f74-e0973c4e08ff.jpg?v=1768672486","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/barbed-wire-imperialism-aidan-forth-9780520293960","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
