Title
An Empire of Subjects: Unities and Disunities in the British Empire, 1760-1790
Abstract
An exploration of the ways in which the term "British subject" was applied and negotiated in the continuously expanding British empire. The author focuses on the period after the Seven Years' War (1756-1763) in which questions about status, duties and rights of the multi-religious, multinational and multiracial "new subjects" added to the British empire, including Quebec, became increasingly important as Britain sought to consolidate imperial control.
