Reviews" Moving Subjects makes a significant contribution to some lively areas of historical scholarship, conceptualizing them in new ways: the history of the body, the history of sexuality, the 'new imperial' history, the history of settler societies, and the intersections of race, gender, and class in all of these."--Ann Curthoys, coeditor of Connected Worlds: History in Transnational Perspective, "Moving Subjects makes a significant contribution to some lively areas of historical scholarship, conceptualizing them in new ways: the history of the body, the history of sexuality, the 'new imperial' history, the history of settler societies, and the intersections of race, gender, and class in all of these.''--Ann Curthoys, coeditor of Connected Worlds: History in Transnational Perspective "These essays are among the very best out there. Taking on larger understandings of empire and colonialism, the authors offer important and unique insights into how one might interrogate old subjects in new ways and, more important, how we might reconstitute those old subjects to better understand the workings of the past.--Damon Salesa, associate professor of history, University of Michigan, "These essays are among the very best out there. Taking on larger understandings of empire and colonialism, the authors offer important and unique insights into how one might interrogate old subjects in new ways and, more important, how we might reconstitute those old subjects to better understand the workings of the past."--Damon Salesa, associate professor of history, University of Michigan, "A valuable collection that contains much fascinating material and many valuable conceptual insights."-- Victorian Studies

SynopsisMoving Subjects is the first of its kind to make a case not simply for the necessity of a spatial analysis of imperial formations, but for the indispensability of an investigative approach that links space and movement with the domain of the intimate. Through careful archival research and a commitment to excavating the variety of "mobile intimacies" at the heart of imperial power, its agents, and its interlocutors, contributors offer new evidence and approaches for scholars engaged in capturing the historical nuances of imperial domination.
