Barbed-wire imperialism : Britain's empire of camps, 1876-1903
Forth, Aidan2017
Books
Camps are emblems of the modern world, but they first appeared under the imperial tutelage of Victorian Britain. Comparative and transnational in scope, 'Barbed-Wire Imperialism' situates the concentration and refugee camps of the Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902) within longer traditions of controlling the urban poor in metropolitan Britain and managing 'suspect' populations in the empire.
