Empires in Perspective
This important series examines a diverse range of imperial histories from the early modern period to the twentieth century. Drawing on works of political, social, economic and cultural history, the history of science and political theory, the series encourages methodological pluralism and does not impose any particular conception of historical scholarship. While focused on particular aspects of empire, works published also seek to address wider questions on the study of imperial history.

Forthcoming Titles
Race and Identity in the Tasman World, 17691840
Rachel Standfield British imperial encounters with indigenous cultures created perceptions and stereotypes that still persist today. The initial creation of racial images in relation to violence such as warrior race or unoffending people had particular consequences for land ownership. Whilst the Maori of New Zealand were understood to be sovereign owners of their country, Australian Aboriginals were not. Standfield examines these differences and how they occurred.

Baudin, Napoleon and the Exploration of Australia

Nicole Starbuck This is the first in-depth study of Nicolas Baudins scientific expedition to Australia in 1802. Starbuck focuses on the reconstruction of the voyage during the expeditions stay in colonial Sydney and how this sheds new light on our understanding of Napoleonic France. Previous histories have viewed Baudins time in Sydney as little more than an opportunity for the French to recuperate after their journey, however Starbuck presents it as a pivotal moment in French history, intellectual thought and imperialism.
