In this wide-ranging study, Maeve Ryan explores the set of imperial experiments that took shape as British authorities sought to order and instrumentalise the liberated Africans, and examines the dual discourses of compassion and control that evolved around a people expected to repay the debt of their salvation. Ryan traces the ideas that shaped \"disposal\" policies towards liberated Africans, and the forms of resistance and accommodation that characterized their responses. This book demonstrates the impact of interventionist experiments on the lives of the liberated people, on the evolution of a British antislavery \"world system,\" and on the emergence of modern understandings of refuge, asylum, and humanitarian governance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maeve Ryan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300251394\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300251395\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/05\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.37h x 6.22w x 1.10d","brand":"Maeve Ryan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43945217261823,"sku":"9780300251395","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_2304f538-3a29-414d-9159-d50c036c75e5.jpg?v=1681507459","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/humanitarian-governance-and-the-british-maeve-ryan-9780300251395","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
