Otherness and the frontiers of empire : the Eastern Cape Colony, 1806-c.1850
Based on a study of the connections between offical, settler and humanitarian discourses within the Cape Colony on the one hand, and metropolitan political discourses on the other, the paper sets the metropolitan construction of racial difference in a wider context informed by developments at the periphery of empire. It establishes some of the ways in which constructions of racial otherness influenced British spatial strategies on the early 19th imperial margins
