Ranging over a quarter of a millennium & four continents, Captives uncovers the experiences & writings of those tens of thousands of men & women who took part in Britain`s rise to imperial pre-eminence, but who got caught & caught out. Here are the stories of Sarah Shade, a camp follower imprisoned alongside defeated British legions in Southern India; of Joseph Pitts, white slave & pilgrim to Mecca; of Florentia Sale, captive & diarist in Afghanistan; of those individuals who crossed the cultural divide & switched identities, like the Irishman George Thomas; & of others who made it back, like the onetime Chippewa warrior & Scot, John Rutherford. Linda Colley uses these tales of ordinary individuals trapped in extraordinary encounters to re-evaluate the character & diversity of the British Empire. She explores what they reveal about British responses to, relations with, & frequent dependence upon different non-European peoples. She shows how British attitudes to Islam, slavery, race, & American Revolutionaries look different once the captive`s perspective is admitted. And she demonstrates how these individual captivities illuminate the limits of Britain`s global power over time
- as well as its extent. Richly illustrated & evocatively written, Captives is both a magnificent & compelling work of history, & a powerful & original reappraisal of the significance & survivals of empire now.
