Más información sobre el libro

Exploring the complexities of royal tours from 1860 to 1911, this book reveals the ambivalence of British royals and the varied responses of colonial subjects. It highlights how local leaders navigated the politics of these tours, sometimes resisting or appropriating British cultural power. The narrative illustrates a multi-centred imperial culture, where the colonies played a crucial role in shaping notions of Britishness, citizenship, and loyalty. This work appeals to scholars and readers interested in the intersections of royalty, empire, and history.
