Books by Nigel Worden
Each of the thirteen chapters considers honour in a particular sphere – legal, political, religious or personal – and in different contexts determined by the distinctive and changing matrix of race, gender and class, as well as the distinctions of free and unfree status in each colony. The first half of the volume shows how and why the political, ideological and moral stakes of the concept of honour were particularly important in colonial societies, while the later chapters look more closely at the social behaviour and the purchase of honour within more specific groups. Together, the chapters collectively demonstrate that there was never a clear distinction between politics and social life, and honour crossed between the public and private spheres.
The book brings together historians of Australia and South Africa to highlight thought-provoking parallels and contrasts between the Cape and Australian colonies that will be of interest to all scholars of colonial societies and the concept of honour. It contains the following chapters:
