Lawrence Butler

Inhaltsangabe

The Journal of Imperial and Commonwealth History- "The book is a valuable
addition to the growing list of detailed studies of British colonial policy
in this policy in this period and will have to be read by al specialists in
this field." Source unknown - reveiwed by J.E.Weaver, Associate Professor
of Economics, Drake University "It is not appropriate to see this book as
settling the debate on the attitude of the British government about
industrialisation in its colonies. It does provide valuable insight into
the process of determining colonial policy." CBH - "In the final analysis,
this important study suggests that what did or did not happen economically
to British colonies in this period owed little to the Colonial office."
English Historical Review - "..meticulously researched...The historical
accounts are interesting and informative, and the use of interviews is
impressive." Labour History- " It...provides valuable insight into the
process of determining colonial policy" History- " A concise conclusion, a
helpful alphabetical listing of key players, and a competent bibliography
complete this relevant contribution to British colonial history
