Description

This study traces the emergence and dissemination of Aryanism within the British empire. The idea of an Aryan race became an important feature of imperial culture in the nineteenth century, feeding into debates in Britain, Ireland, India, and the Pacific. The global reach of the Aryan idea reflected the complex networks that enabled the global reach of British imperialism. Tony Ballantyne charts the shifting meanings of Aryanism within these "webs" of empire.
