Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In nineteenth century settler colonies such as New Zealand, Upper Canada and New South Wales, governors not only administered; they stood at the head of colonial society and ordered the festivities and ceremonies around which colonial life centred. Governors were also expected to be repositories of political wisdom and constitutional maxims. The public also held them responsible for prosperity, education and culture. Such prominence brought criticism as well as praise. Almost all governors were as some time burned in effigy, and they were frequently the targets of scurrilous and libellous comment. Transfigured as ideal rulers -- and disfigured as the embodiments of tyranny and personal vice -- they played the symbolic roles of both hero and sacrificial victim in the emerging settler societies. "Governors and settlers" explores the public and private beliefs of governors such as Robert Fitzroy, Sir George Grey, and Thomas Gore Browne as they struggled to survive in colonial cultures which both deified and vilified their personal qualities. It also describes the context in which British and colonial thinking behind the Treaty of Waitangi tooks place, and how political strategies and ceremonies designed for one colony were successfully imposed on another. Further to this, the author describes how colonial culture in New Zealand coped with its unique situation -- in particular where politics were largely a matter of avoiding racial clashes rather than reinforcing colonial authority." -- Inside front cover.

Book excerpt: The seventeenth-century war on piracy is remembered as a triumph for the English state and her Atlantic colonies. Yet it was piracy and illicit trade that drove a wedge between them, imperiling the American enterprise and bringing the colonies to the verge of rebellion. In The Politics of Piracy, competing criminalities become a lens to examine England's legal relationship with America. In contrast to the rough, unlettered stereotypes associated with them, pirates and illicit traders moved easily in colonial society, attaining respectability and even political office. The goods they provided became a cornerstone of colonial trade, transforming port cities from barren outposts into rich and extravagant capitals. This transformation reached the political sphere as well, as colonial governors furnished local mariners with privateering commissions, presided over prize courts that validated stolen wares, and fiercely defended their prerogatives as vice-admirals. By the end of the century, the social and political structures erected in the colonies to protect illicit trade came to represent a new and potent force: nothing less than an independent American legal system. Tensions between Crown and colonies presage, and may predestine, the ultimate dissolution of their relationship in 1776. Exhaustively researched and rich with anecdotes about the pirates and their pursuers, The Politics of Piracy will be a fascinating read for scholars, enthusiasts, and anyone with an interest in the wild and tumultuous world of the Atlantic buccaneers.
