Soft cover. Zustand: New. The Nawab Nazim was born into one of India's most powerful royal families. Three times the size of Great Britain, his kingdom ranged from the soaring Himalayas to the Bay of Bengal. However, the Nawab was seen as a threat by the British authorities, who forced him to abdicate in 1880 and permanently abolished his titles. The Nawab's change in fortune marked the end of an era in India and left his secret English family abandoned. The Last Prince of Bengal tells the true story of the Nawab Nazim and his family as they sought by turns to befriend, settle in and eventually escape Britain. From glamourous receptions with Queen Victoria to a scandalous Muslim marriage with an English chambermaid; and from Bengal tiger hunts to sheep farming in the harsh Australian outback, Lyn Innes recounts her ancestors' extraordinary journey from royalty to relative anonymity. This compelling account visits the extremes of British rule in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, exposing complex prejudices regarding race, class and gender. It is the intimate story of one family and their place in the defining moments of recent Indian, British and Australian history.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Ellen Craft, disguising herself as a white slave-owner to escape with her husband, William. Mary and William Allen, the first legal interracial married couple in America, fleeing the country after threats of lynching. Francis Fedric, after 50 years of brutal treatment escaping through the Underground Railroad. Sarah Remond Parker, invited to Britain to lecture on abolitionism, and then qualifying as one of the first women doctors. These courageous men and women left the United States as the Fugitive Slave Act was passed and citizenship for black people denied, finding in Britain another country mired in a colonial history. Lyn Innes explores the lives of these extraordinary speakers, writers, and activists, as they challenged reductive narratives, campaigned against slavery, and built their own lives and families, interacting with movements for Women's Suffrage and Temperance, electoral politics, and Nationalist movements. Tracing varying influences, from Uncle Tom's Cabin to the Indian Rebellion of 1857, Innes examines British perceptions of race through how these speakers were perceived, understood, supported, received, and criticised. An insightful investigation of seven extraordinary lives, Fugitive Families is a fascinating portrait of social attitudes in the 1850-60s, a history that underpins modern British society.…
