For this project, we selected primary source documents archived on Empire Online.  The selected essays are written by colonial travelers, missionaries, politicians and activists. In our reading and analyses, we considered the insights each writer and work offers into the stories and history of the British empire or of resistance to those stories, and we also deliberated how each work was connected other writing about empire or to contemporary realities.

The links below lead to different chapters, each offering a trail of analysis and discussion about a different text.  You may follow each path in order or follow your interests.  You can return to this introduction page by clicking the icon in the top left of the screen to see a drop down menu of the chapters.
