Scottish Presbyterianism and Settler Colonial Politics : Empire of Dissent Hardback
by Valerie Wallace
Part of the Cambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies series
Hardback
Description
This book offers a new interpretation of political reform in the settler colonies of Britain’s empire in the early nineteenth century.
It examines the influence of Scottish Presbyterian dissenting churches and their political values.
It re-evaluates five notorious Scottish reformers and unpacks the Presbyterian foundation to their political ideas: Thomas Pringle (1789-1834), a poet in Cape Town; Thomas McCulloch (1776-1843), an educator in Pictou; John Dunmore Lang (1799-1878), a church minister in Sydney; William Lyon Mackenzie (1795-1861), a rebel in Toronto; and Samuel McDonald Martin (1805?-1848), a journalist in Auckland.
The book weaves the five migrants’ stories together for the first time and demonstrates how the campaigns they led came to be intertwined.
The book will appeal to historians of Scotland, Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, the British Empire and the Scottish diaspora.
