Paperback. Condition: Good. Exploring the meaning of borders in our world.?What are borders? Are they simply political and geographical, marked by posts, walls and fences, or should we think of them more broadly? Consider the borders within countries, marked by race, ethnicity, or caste. Borders may be physical and economic, and even perceptual-the borders of our minds. ?In Postcards from the Borderlands, historian and journalist David Mould rambles through a dozen countries in Asia, Southern Africa and Eastern Europe by car, bus, train, shared taxi and ferry, exploring what borders mean to their peoples.?Mould finds topics of interest even in the most ordinary places-an airport departure lounge, a food court, a roadside restaurant, a government office. Every road trip offers a moving window display of landscape features, crops, livestock, houses, churches, temples, mosques, schools, factories, military bases, vehicles. He notes what people are selling on the roadside and the markets, the restaurant menu, the indecipherable instructions for the TV remote in his hotel room. What people wear. What they eat. How they talk to each other. The questions they ask him. The questions he asks them. Away from the tourist hotspots, he finds that it is often the commonplace that is most fascinating and revealing of culture.…

Condition: New.

Paperback. Condition: New. In 1817, James Hastie, a 30-year-old East India Company sergeant, embarked on an ambitious and risky mission. Under orders from Robert Townsend Farquhar, governor of the new British island colony of Mauritius, seized from the French during the Napoleonic Wars, Hastie undertook a long, perilous overland journey to the highland court of Radama, the young and warlike ruler of the most powerful kingdom in Madagascar. A decade earlier, Britain had banned the slave trade in its colonies and the government in London was pressuring Farquhar to halt the smuggling of slaves to the plantations of Mauritius. Hastie, who had no diplomatic training, lived by his wits as he won Radama's confidence and persuade him to defy the nobles and clan chieftains who profited from the slave trade. From his side, the intelligent, charming yet ruthless Radama skillfully used the British envoy to help win the internal power struggle over political rivals. It was a deal with the devil: in return for banning the slave trade, the British trained Radama's army and supplied muskets and gunpowder, allowing him to expand his dominions, while turning a blind eye to the internal slave trade. As Britain and France continued to face off in the Indian Ocean, competing for trade and power, Hastie secured British influence in Madagascar. He became Radama's most trusted advisor, accompanying him on military campaigns and advocating for social reforms, until his untimely death in 1826.Mission to Madagascar is based on Hastie's unpublished journals, one of them recently discovered, and other primary sources, including letters and political and military dispatches. They offer the most comprehensive early 19th century account of Madagascar, its landscape, crops, industry, commerce, culture, and inhabitants, and weave a narrative of hazardous travel, byzantine court intrigue and colonial geopolitics. This is the first biography of a man whom Sir Mervyn Brown, a former UK ambassador and historian of Madagascar, described as "one of the most important and attractive figures in the history of Anglo-Malagasy relations.".…
