“…Certainly, the church's role as vanguards of European imperialism is widely acknowledged (Dunch, 2002;Fanon, 1967;Said, 1994;Stuart, 2007). The circumstances surrounding Mokomoko and Völkner are well documented (Amoamo, 1990;Binney, 2002;Lyall, 1979;Walker, 2007).…”

It is generally accepted practice that research writing should include a review of literature that serves to locate the study within the field of inquiry. However, in indigenous research, the over reliance on published literature as a repository of knowledge can be problematic. By considering the Māori, doctoral thesis: ‘Tangohia mai te aura’ (Take this rope), this article argues that a review of written material must be extended to embrace non-written forms of knowledge including indigenous documentary making that challenges sanctioned historical narratives, and the oral repositories of experience that exist in indigenous waiata (songs), oriori (chants), karakia (prayers) and pūrākau (storytelling). As an extension of this, indigenous inquiry that seeks to exhume lived experiences of injustice must also frame the genealogically connected, orally accounted experiences of communities, as valued repositories of knowledge.

“…58 Missionaries were transnational actors in their own right: they sought to use empire for their own ends (such as communication networks, support, and protection), but their aims could be at odds with those of secular empires. 59 It would therefore be problematic to assume an easy relationship between religious activism, anti-slavery, and imperialism.…”

The Tensions of Internationalism: Transnational Anti-Slavery in the 1880s and 1890s

In 1888 Cardinal Lavigerie, the Archbishop of Algiers and Carthage, launched his 'anti-slavery crusade'. Drawing attention to slave raids in Africa and to the East African slave trade, this initiative resulted in the foundation of several new antislavery associations. Many of them maintained close connections to Catholic politics and missionaries, yet also co-operated with two older -and predominantly Protestant -groups in Britain: the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society (BFAS) and the Aborigines' Protection Society (APS). By stressing how anti-slavery associations collaborated through international congresses and periodicals, the article traces the emergence of a new anti-slavery internationalism in the 1880s and 1890s. It discusses the transnational context of such activism and highlights the shared language developed by its protagonists. However, the timing of these efforts makes its necessary to consider the relationship between humanitarianism and the 'new imperialism' of this period -a connection that was reflected in diplomatic events such as the Brussels Conference of 1889-90. Anti-slavery discourse fed into notions of a 'civilising mission' which seemed to legitimise imperial expansion. Portrayals that contrasted the actions of Western powers with those of so-called 'Arab' slave-traders (a term which Europeans also applied to African Muslims) were one element of this discourse.

This essay examines recent publications in several historical fields to articulate the relationships between the British Empire, international government, and human rights from British conceptions of imperial world order in the late nineteenth century to the end of empire in the Cold War.In the past several years, historians have given considerable attention to relationships between the British Empire, international government, and human rights. Studies of Great Britain's role in the League of Nations have built upon a longstanding body of scholarship, while studies of the multifaceted relationships between Britain and the United Nations (U.N.) and the evolving, international system of human rights have broken new, if limited, ground. 1 In a review of the field of human rights history in 2004, Kenneth Cmiel called for wider recognition that the meaning of human rights is multivalent and historically contingent. 2 Recent historical studies have paid heed, contributing to an effort across fields to examine human rights as visions not only seen, but contested. 3 In so doing, historians have begun to bridge a gap between the historiographies of international government and human rights before the Second World War. This essay spans additional divides. It draws connections between several as yet separate bodies of historical scholarship on the British Empire, international government, and human rights from British conceptions of imperial world order in the Victorian era to the end of empire in the Cold War.In the late nineteenth century, members of Britain's intellectual elite and political class imagined forms of a new world order centered on the imperial federation of Britain and its white settler colonies. As Duncan Bell explains, this project of structural reform was a reaction to the social friction of industrial capitalism and the extension of democracy in the United Kingdom through the 1867 and 1884 reform acts. Imperial federation was also conceived as a strategic response to the growing economic and geopolitical competition offered by Germany, the United States, and Russia. More than an economic or political initiative, imperial federation was regarded as an expression of common culture or Anglo-Saxonism, or both. It was something moral and metaphysical, the epitome of universal principles of civilization realized through the genius of the British nation. 4 By Britain's civilized standards, the vast majority of the imperial subjects in Asia, Africa, the Caribbean, and the Pacific were deemed "backward" and therefore undeserving of the same status as the white brethren of Greater Britain.In contrast to imperial federalists, liberal internationalists were mainly concerned with facilitating co-operation between European states in this volatile era. They attempted to foster, in varying degrees, both institutional solutions and a transcendent moral conscience for humanity. They promoted free trade as a means to forge universal bonds of mutual benefit and trust, and they worked to avert war through multilateral agre...
