"Empire, Kinship and Violence: Family Histories, Indigenous Rights and the Making of Settler Colonialism, 1770–1842" by Elizabeth Elbourne is a groundbreaking study that examines colonialism and the British Empire in North America, Australasia, and sub-Saharan Africa. The book explores the themes of violence and settler colonialism through the experiences of three families, providing new insights into the global and trans-colonial nature of the British Empire during the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The author argues that family and kinship played a significant role in the development of settler colonialism, and highlights the complexities of power dynamics, gender, and Indigenous resistance. While the book raises questions about the uniqueness of the period studied, it is praised for its thorough research and its contribution to the fields of settler colonialism, family histories, and group biographies.
