Patrons, Clients, and Empire: Chieftaincy and Over-rule in Asia, Africa, and the Pacific
Newbury, Colin (, Emeritus Fellow, Linacre College, Oxford)
This study of relationships between the indigenous leadership of traditional states and colonizing Europeans from the 17th to the 20th century challenges stereotypes of despotic imperial power in Asian, African, and Pacific colonies. It seeks to answer how European officials were able to govern so many societies over such a long period of time.
